Setup Note: Determine the left and right side of the machine from the normal operating position. Qty. Description Operator’s Manual 1 Engine Operator’s Manual 1 Parts Catalog 1 Remove, Activate And Charge Battery Use Read before operating the machine. Warning Charging the battery produces gasses that can explode. 1. If Battery is not filled with electrolyte or activated, bulk electrolyte with 1.260 specific gravity must be purchased from a local battery supply outlet and added to battery.
Warning Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the tractor and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. 1 • Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable. • Always connect the positive (red) battery cable before connecting the negative (black) cable. 3 23–1/2” 3. Attach the positive cable (wire from ignition switch) to the positive (+) terminal. 4.
Before Operating 4. Pour oil into fill opening until the oil level is up to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Add the oil slowly and check the level often during this process. DO NOT OVERFILL Check Engine Oil Important Check level of oil every 8 operating hours or daily. Initially, change oil after the first 5 hours of operation; thereafter, under normal conditions, change oil every 100 hours and filter every 200 hours.
Use unleaded regular gasoline suitable for automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available. 1 Important Never use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, or gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline. 1. Clean area around fuel tank cap. 2. Remove fuel tank cap. 3 3. Fill tank to about one inch below top of tank, (bottom of filler neck). DO NOT OVERFILL. Then install cap.
Adjust Rake Depth Adjust Rubber Flap Flex tip reel should be adjusted so rake tips slightly touch surface but do not penetrate turf. If rake tips penetrate turf, improper debris pickup could result. For best debris pick up results, metal portion of front flap should be vertical to ground. 1. Move flat lever forward to lower flat. 1. Position sweeper on a level surface. 2. Loosen locknut on depth adjustment bolt so it can be turned. 2 1 1 Figure 9 Figure 7 1. Rubber flap 2. Metal edge 1. Locknut 2.
Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Controls Flap Lever Move flap lever (Fig. 11) downward to engaged position and upward for disengaged position. Move lever to upward position when transporting machine. 3 2 1 Figure 12 1. Choke control 2. Ignition switch Reel Lever Push reel lever (Fig. 11) forward to raise flex tip reel. To lower flex reel, push lever forward until catch releases, then push to rear until lever hits STOP.
Note: To maintain a straight line when sweeping, sight of an object in the foreground. • Always try to make a long, continuous run with a slight overlap on the return run. 2 • On turf areas, the flex tip reel will pick up twigs, clippings, leaves, pine needles and cones, small debris (beverage cans, small bottles, paper plates, etc.). 1 • The rake teeth are made of flexible nylon and easily changed. To prevent damage, the rake is protected from solid obstructions by spring action.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Important Refer to your engine operator’s manual for additional maintenance procedures. Lubrication The Rake–O–Vac has grease fittings that must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease. Lubricate bearings after every 30 hours of operation or whenever machine is washed with water.
Changing Engine Oil and Filter Servicing Air Cleaner Change oil initially after the first 5 hours of operation, thereafter change oil every 100 hours and filter every 200 hours. 1. Release latches securing air cleaner cover to air cleaner body. Separate cover from body. Clean inside of air cleaner cover. 1. Park the machine on a level surface and turn the engine off. 4 2. Remove drain plug and let oil flow into drain pan. When oil stops, install drain plug.
Replacing Spark Plugs Replace Fuel Filter Replace spark plugs or reset gap after every 200 operating hours to assure proper engine performance and reduce exhaust emission level. Replace fuel filter after every 600 hours of operation. Correct spark plug to use is a Champion RC 12YC or equivalent. 2. Remove clamps securing fuel filter to fuel lines. 1. Place a clean container under fuel filter. Recommended air gap is .040”.
Cleaning Blower Housing Warning 1 Before removing any debris from blower housing, disengage P.T.O. drive, stop engine(s) and make certain all moving parts have stopped or personal injury may occur. 1. Make sure impeller has stopped rotating before removing access plates. 2. Loosen (2) wing nuts securing access plate. 3 2 Figure 24 1. Impeller belt 2. Jackshaft belt 3. Idler pulley Note: It is not necessary to remove upper belt guard (Fig. 25) to check belt tension.
2. To adjust belt tension: Jackshaft Belt • Loosen (4) engine mounting bolts. 1. Check tension by depressing belt at mid span of jackshaft and clutch pulleys with 4 to 5 lbs. of force. Belt should deflect .25 in. If deflection is incorrect, proceed to next step. If correct, continue operation. 2. To adjust belt tension: • Remove (4) capscrews, washers and nuts securing upper shroud to frame (Fig. 25).
Flex Tip Reel Removal • Reinstall guard. Make sure there is clearance between belt and belt guard. Removal of flex tip reel should be done on a hard and level surface. 1. Raise front of sweeper as high as possible by lowering jack. 2 2. Raise reel to highest position. 3. Remove lower belt guard (Fig. 28) and reel drive belt (Fig. 29). 4. Remove (2) capscrews, lockwashers and nuts securing reel shaft bearings to reel support arms on each side of sweeper. Lower flex tip reel to the ground. 1 5.
Note: Spacers should be re–installed whenever the thatcher is removed and either the brush or flex tip reel is mounted to sweeper. 6. Slide Thatcher into position and secure to reel support arms. 7. Align idler sprocket with jackshaft sprocket and thatcher sprocket. 8. Install No. 60 chain, included in kit. Lubricate with SAE 30 oil. Flex Tip Rake Rod Or Finger Plate Replacement 9. Push down on idler sprocket until desired chain tension is obtained. 1. Remove capscrew and locknut from one end of reel.
Flex Tip Rake Tine Replacement Brush Half Replacement 1. Remove tine retainer and slide damaged tine out. 2. Loosen clamps with a allen wrench and remove from brush halves. 1. Remove brush from sweeper. 2 1 1 3 Figure 35 1. Clamp Figure 34 1. Finger plate 2. Tine retainer 3. Tine 3. Separate brush halves and discard damaged section(s). 2. Bend new tine in half and slide into position. 3. Place tine bracket over curved end of tine and fasten securely with capscrew and lockwasher. Figure 36 4.
Changing Tires Warning 1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Block other tire to prevent accidental rolling or injury. CALIFORNIA 2. Place jack under frame or axle shaft behind wheel and jack up wheel until it just contacts floor. Proposition 65 Warning Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Warning A 2000 lb.
