Product Overview Throttle Control Controls The throttle (Figure 5) is used to operate the engine at various speeds. Moving the throttle lever to the Fast position increases the engine speed. To decrease the engine speed, move the lever to the Slow position. Flap Lever Note: When operating the sweeper, run the engine at full throttle. Operating the sweeper at a slow speed may cause clutch damage. Move the flap lever downward to the engaged position and upward for the disengaged position.
Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. 1 Adding Fuel • Fuel tank capacity: 37.8 liters (10 gallons) • Recommended Fuel: – For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than 30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method). – Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same.
DANGER WARNING In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long–term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness. • Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills. • Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or conditioner opening. • Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
Checking the Engine Oil Level 1 Service Interval: Before each use or daily (Check the oil when the engine is cold.) The engine is shipped with high-quality oil in the crankcase; however, the oil level must be checked before and after the engine is first started. Crankcase capacity is approximately 1.9 liters (2 quarts) with the filter. Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when the engine is cool before it has been started for the day.
Stopping the Engine Operating Tips 1. Move the throttle lever to the Slow position. 2. Let the engine idle for 60 seconds. General 3. Turn the ignition key to the Off position and remove the key. • Before starting to sweep, survey area to determine the best direction to sweep. Note: To stop the machine in an emergency, move the ignition switch to the Off position. Note: To maintain a straight line when sweeping, sight of an object in the foreground.
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 Servicing the Primary Air Filter Servicing the Air Cleaner Service Interval: Every 200 hours • If the primary air filter is dirty, bent, or damaged, replace it. • Do not clean the primary air filter. Service Interval: Every 25 hours Check the air cleaner housing for damage which could cause an air leak. Replace if damaged.
Removing the Spark Plugs 2 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. Look at the center of both spark plugs (Figure 16). If you see light brown or gray on the insulator, the engine is operating properly. A black coating on the insulator usually means the air cleaner is dirty. 1 Important: Never clean the spark plugs.
Fuel System Maintenance Note: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins, or cooling shrouds removed, will cause engine damage due to overheating. Replacing the Fuel Filter Service Interval: Every 600 hours/Yearly (whichever comes first) Important: Never re-install a dirty filter if it is removed from the fuel line. 1. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 2. Allow the machine to cool down. 3.
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 19) 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 193 kPa (28 psi).
Inspecting the Impeller Drive Belt Check the tension by depressing the belt at the mid span of the impeller and clutch pulleys with 18–22 N (4–5 lbs) of force. The belt should deflect 1.27 cm (.5 inches). If the deflection is incorrect, proceed to Adjusting the Impeller Drive Belt. If the deflection is correct, continue normal operation (Figure 19). Inspecting the Jackshaft Belt Check the tension by depressing the belt at mid span of the jackshaft and clutch pulleys with 18–22 N (4–5 lbs) of force.
Changing the Rubber Flap 4. Install the bolt and nut to secure the adjustment. 5. Reinstall the upper shroud. Adjusting the Reel Drive Belt Replace the rubber flap when it becomes worn or damaged. 1. Remove the nut and bolt securing the idler pulley bracket (bolt in slotted hole in bracket) to the tension adjusting bracket (Figure 24). 2 3 CAUTION 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. 4 1.
Pulley Removal Flex Tip Reel Removal 1. Remove the bolts and lockwashers one at a time and screw them into the adjoining holes (Figure 26). 1. Place the machine on a hard and level surface. 2. Raise the front of the sweeper as high as possible by lowering the jack. 3 3. Raise the reel to the highest position. 4. Remove the lower belt guard and reel drive belt (Figure 24). 5. Remove the 2 bolts, lockwashers, and nuts securing the reel shaft bearings to the reel support arms on each side of the sweeper.
Flex Tip Rake Rod or Finger Plate Replacement Flex Tip Rake Tine Replacement 1. Remove the tine retainer and slide the damaged tine out (Figure 28). 1. Remove the bolt and locknut from one end of the reel (Figure 27). 1 2 2 1 3 g015286 Figure 27 1. bolt and locknut g015287 Figure 28 2. Locknut 1. Finger plate 3. Tine 2. Tine retainer 2. Remove the locknut only from the opposite end of the reel. 2. Bend the new tine in half and slide it into position. 3. Drive the rod from the end plate.
Brush Half Replacement Cleaning 1. Remove the brush from the sweeper. Cleaning the Blower Housing 2. Loosen the clamps with an Allen wrench and remove it from the brush halves (Figure 29). WARNING 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 the impeller has stopped rotating before removing the access plates. 2. Loosen the 2 wing nuts securing the access plate (Figure 31).
Storage J. Choke the engine. Start and run the engine until it will not start. 1. Set the parking brake and turn the ignition key to off. Remove the spark plug wire and the key. K. Dispose of the fuel properly. Recycle as per local codes. 2. Remove grass, dirt, and grime from the external parts of the entire machine, especially the engine. Clean dirt and chaff from the outside of the engine’s cylinder head fins and blower housing. Important: Do not store stabilizer/conditioned gasoline over 90 days.
