Operation In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released causing a spark which can ignite the gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Adding Fuel Use unleaded regular gasoline suitable for automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is not available.
Important: Do not use fuel additives containing methanol or ethanol. compatible with the core processors. If the fluids are not compatible, any fluid remaining in the core processor must be removed. Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the gas. Adjusting the Brush Height Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times.
Leveling the Core Processor Note: You may have to readjust the rear roller if you can not get the main frame parallel to the ground. 1. Before leveling the Core Processor, make sure the pickup brush and the rear roller height are adjusted to the correct height of cut (Figure 30). If the Core Processor is equipped with a new brush, the rear roller adjustment table can be referenced to set the rear roller for proper grass height of cut.
Adjusting the Brush Height in the Field When operating the core processor, the frame should be level to the ground or the front of the frame should be slightly higher. Adjust he brush downward until it just begins to pick up cores. With the One Pass Hitch, lower the brush by adjusting the connecting link until the brush collects all of the cores. Shortening the connecting link will lower the brush, while lengthening the link will raise the brush.
Checking the Tire Pressure 2. Move choke lever to ON position. Note: Choke may not be required when starting a warm engine. Check the tire pressure (Figure 34). The correct tire pressure is 36 psi. 3. Insert key into ignition switch and rotate it clockwise to start the engine. Release key when engine starts. Regulate the choke to keep engine running smoothly. Important: To prevent overheating of the starter motor, do not engage starter longer than 10 seconds.
One Pass Operation the brush. If the brush is not aggressive enough, some cores will be missed. • Starting Finalize your height adjustment on a remote area of the property before using on critical areas. Put tractor in gear and start tractor moving. Lower the core processor to the ground. Before starting operation, survey area to determine the best direction to work. Engage the PTO to the tractor.
Figure 35 1. Latch handle 2. Latch handle pin in the locked position 3. Unlocked position Soil Moisture Soil moisture levels beyond the saturation point will make processing difficult. Surface Moisture will tend to mix with the processed material and will create some build up and clumping on the rear discharge area and rear roller scraper. When possible, drier cores process better.
Soil Moisture Chart This chart is to be used as a guideline for determining soil moisture. Core processing in conditions that fall into the shaded area of the chart may give less than desirable results.
Inspecting and Cleaning the Brush/Chopper Housing Service Interval: Every 4 hours Clean the brush/chopper housing more often in high soil moisture conditions. The brush/chopper housings will build up with mud more rapidly when used in grass longer than one inch height of cut, clay and loam soil or in early morning dew. If the brush housing is not cleaned, premature wear to the brush will occur. With proper maintenance the brush should last approximately 100 hours.
High Altitude Operation When operating in high altitudes the carburetor jets may have to be changed to optimum engine performance. Use the chart below to determine which carburetor jet is required for the operating altitude. Order the carburetor jets from your Briggs and Stratton Dealer. Carburetor Jet Size Figure 38 1. Chopper tip 2. Using a hack saw, cut a slot in the sheared end of the bolt and into the chopper tip (Figure 38). Make sure the slot is deep enough to engage a straight bladed screw driver.
