Operating Tips General • Before starting to sweep, survey area to determine the best direction to sweep. Note: To maintain a straight line when sweeping, sight of an object in the foreground. 1 • Always try to make a long, continuous run with a slight overlap on the return run.
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. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 50 hours • Change the engine oil and filter. Before each use or daily • Check the engine oil level. (Check the oil when the engine is cold.) • Check the tire pressure.
Lubrication Lubrication Service Interval: Every 25 hours The Rake–O–Vac has grease fittings that must be lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease. Lubricate the bearings after every 30 hours of operation or whenever machine is washed with water. Bearings and bushings must be lubricated daily when operating conditions are extremely dusty and dirty. Dusty and dirty operating conditions could cause dirt to get into the bearings and bushings, resulting in accelerated wear.
Engine Maintenance 7. Insert the new filter properly into the air cleaner body. Make sure the filter is sealed properly by applying pressure to the outer rim of the filter when installing. Do not press on the flexible center of the filter. Servicing the Air Cleaner Service Interval: Every 25 hours 1. Release the latches securing the air cleaner cover to the air cleaner body.
