to the sweeper frame with the transport hooks. Should the gauge wheel arm fall to the ground, damage to the sweeper may occur. 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. • 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. Separate the cover of the air cleaner from the body of the unit. Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover (Figure 19). 4 8.
2 Use a spark plug wrench for removing and installing the spark plugs and a gapping tool/feeler gauge to check and adjust the air gap. Install new spark plugs if necessary. Type: Champion RC12YC or equivalent. Air Gap: 0.03 inch (0.75 mm) Removing the Spark Plugs 1. Stop the engine, set the parking brake, and remove the key. 2. Pull the wires off of the spark plugs. 3. Clean around the spark plugs. 4. Remove both spark plugs and metal washers. Checking the Spark Plugs 1 1.
Fuel System Maintenance To ensure proper cooling, keep the grass screen, cooling fins, and other external surfaces of the engine clean at all times. Every 100 hours of operation (more often under extremely dusty, dirty conditions) remove the blower housing and other cooling shrouds. Clean the cooling fins and external surfaces as necessary. Make sure the cooling shrouds are reinstalled.
Electrical System Maintenance WARNING Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. Servicing the Battery • Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable. Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Check the electrolyte level and clean the battery. Every 25 hours—Check the battery cable connections.
Drive System Maintenance Belt Maintenance Tire Maintenance Note: It is not necessary to remove the upper belt guard (Figure 24) to check the belt tension. If for some reason the belt guard must be removed, remove the 4 bolts, washers, and nuts securing the guard to the frame. Never operate the machine without the guards in place. Inspecting the Belts Checking the Tire Pressure Service Interval: Before each use or daily 1 Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires at 28 psi (193 kPa).
Inspecting the Impeller Drive Belt mounting bolts. Adjust the engine so that it is parallel with frame. Continue tightening the engine mounting bolts (Figure 27). Check the tension by depressing the belt at the mid span of the impeller and clutch pulleys with 4–5 lbs (1.81–2.27 kg) of force. The belt should deflect .5 inches (1.27 cm). If the deflection is incorrect, proceed to Adjusting the Impeller Drive Belt (page 24). If the deflection is correct, continue normal operation (Figure 24).
Changing the Rubber Flap Replace the rubber flap when it becomes worn or damaged. CAUTION 1 Change rubber flap on a flat, level surface and block wheels to prevent sweeper from rolling. Failure to do so may result in personal injury. g015281 Figure 28 1. Lower belt guard 1. Remove the 10 bolts, washers, and nuts on the mounting flap and flap retainer (Figure 30). 2.
