BEFORE OPERATING ACTIVATE AND CHARGE BATTERY 27. Since battery is not filled with electrolyte or activated, bulk electrolyte with 1.260 specific gravity must be purchased from a local battery supply outlet. A CAUTION Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when working with electrolyte. Charge the battery in a well ventilated place so gasses produced while charging can dissipate. Since the gases are explosive, keep open flames and electrical spark away from the battery; do not smoke.
BEFORE OPERATING ) [SYNTHETIC 5W20, 5--30§ = 0 20 3240 60 B8O 100 ‘Cao SAE 30 oil, if used helot 40°F (4°C) will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication. IMPORTANT: Check level of oil every 8 operating hours or daily. Initially, change oil after the first 8 hours of operation; thereafter, under normal conditions, change oil after every 50 hours of operation and filter after every 100 hours of operation.
BEFORE OPERATING CHECK HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUID The hydraulic system is designed to operate on SAE 10 W-30 engine oil o, as a substitute, SAE 10 W-40 engine cil. The machine’s reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 2.7 pints of SAE 10 W-30 engine oil. However, check level of hydraulic fluid before engine is first started and dally thereafter. 1. Position machine on a level surface and raise coring head to the full up position. 2. Remove dipstick cap (Fig.
CONTROLS Choke (Fig. 13) — To start a cold engine, close carburetor choke by pulling choke control outward to the ON position. After engine starts, regulate choke to keep engine running smoothly. As soon as possible, open the choke by pushing it inward fo the OFF position. A warm engine requires fit tie or no choking. Figure 13 . Choke . Throttle .
