Safety • Use extra care when handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Improper use or maintenance of the machine can result in injury or death. To reduce the potential for injury or death, comply with the following safety instructions.
• Stay away from the nozzle opening when the machine is operating. Keep all bystanders away from the nozzle opening and don’t direct discharge toward bystanders. • Do not operate the machine under the influence of alcohol or drugs. • Lightning can cause severe injury or death. If lightning is seen or thunder is heard in the area, do not operate the machine; seek shelter. • If the tow vehicle engine stalls or the machine loses headway and cannot make it to the top of a slope, do not turn the machine around.
• The engine must be shut off before checking the oil or adding oil to the crankcase. • Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible, do not make adjustments with the engine running. • Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away from spark and flames. Unplug charger before connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools. • Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals.
Safety and Instructional Decals Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or lost. 115-5113 1. Warning—read the Operator's Manual, wear hearing and eye protection. 115-5106 1. Warning—read the Operator's Manual. 2.

Operation DANGER 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. • Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
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. Filling the Fuel Tank 1. Shut the engine off. 2. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap and remove the cap (Figure 11). Note: The fuel tank cap contains a gauge which shows the fuel level.
Note: Engine Start Enable Condition persists for 25 seconds after pressing the Rotate Right button allowing momentary activation of Engine Start by pressing the Start button. Pressing the Start button does not extend this time period—the maximum length of time that the Start Relay Control can be active is 25 seconds from pressing the Rotate Right button. The Start button can be pressed multiple times while Engine Start Enable Condition is active.
seconds, then set the engine speed to the desired setting. Repeat this as required. base unit. In Power Save Mode, the base unit will not communicate with the remote control, will not activate outputs, and will not generally function as normal. • When in the time-out mode the engine will not run (or will quit running) and the remote control will not control any function.
do not turn the machine around. Always back the tow vehicle slowly straight down the slope. DANGER TIP OVER CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. • Do not take an injury risk! When a person or pet appears unexpectedly in or near the operating area, stop operation. Careless operation, combined with terrain angles, ricochets, or improperly positioned guards can lead to thrown object injuries. Do not resume operation until the area is cleared. • NEVER operate on steep slopes.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 8 hours • Check condition and tension of belt After the first 10 hours • Check the torque of the wheel lug nuts Before each use or daily • Check the engine oil level. • Clean the engine screen and the oil cooler. • Check the nozzle clamp and the nozzle guides Every 25 hours • Clean the foam air filter element and check the paper element for damage.
Daily Maintenance Checklist Duplicate this page for routine use. Maintenance Check Item For the week of: Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Check the instrument operation Check the fuel level. Check the engine oil level. Clean the engine air cooling fins. Inspect the air filter pre-cleaner. Check any unusual engine noises. Check for fluid leaks. Check the tire pressure. Check nozzle mounting clamp torque Touch-up damaged paint.
Servicing the Air Cleaner Cleaning the Foam Pre-filter Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Clean the foam air filter element and check the paper element for damage. Important: Replace the foam element if it is torn or worn. 1. Wash the foam pre-filter in liquid soap and warm water. When clean, rinse it thoroughly. Every 100 hours—Replace the paper air filter element. 2. Dry the pre-filter by squeezing it in a clean cloth (do not wring).
3. Install the cover, spacer and secure it with the cover nut (Figure 17). Torque the nut to 95 in-lb (10.7 N-m). 4. Install the air cleaner cover and secure with the knob (Figure 17). Servicing the Engine Oil Note: Change the oil more frequently when the operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy. Figure 21 Oil Type: Detergent oil (API service SG, SH, SJ or higher) 1. Oil dipstick 2. Filler tube Crankcase Capacity: w/filter, 67 ounces (2 l) 4.
5. Fill the crankcase with the proper type of new oil; refer to Servicing the Engine Oil. 6. Run the engine for about 3 minutes, stop the engine, and check for oil leaks around the oil filter. 7. Check the engine oil level and add oil if needed. Associate Remote Control and Base Unit Important: Make sure to read the entire procedure before attempting the Association process. Figure 22 1. Oil drain valve 2.
LINK LED remains solid, the RX LED stops flashing Red and the TX LED lights steady Green (button being held) until the button is released, upon which time TX begins flashing Green indicating that the remote control is transmitting. 8. Release the Associate button. RX extinguishes and TX flashes Green for a brief time and then it too goes out. The system is ready for use with that particular remote control. Figure 25 1. Center electrode insulator 3 3. Air gap (not to scale) 2.
Installing the Spark Plugs 1. Park the machine on a level surface to ensure that the fuel tanks drain completely. 1. Install the spark plugs and the metal washer. Ensure that the air gap is set correctly. 2. Tighten the spark plugs to 18 to 22 ft-lb (24.4 to 29.8 N-m). 3. Connect the wires to the spark plugs (Figure 25). 2. Stop the engine and remove the key. 3. Loosen the hose clamp at the fuel filter and slide it up the fuel line away from the fuel filter (Figure 27). 4.
3. Pivot the pulley mounting bracket away from the nozzle until the torque wrench reads 200 to 230 in-lb (22.6 to 26.0 N-m) (Figure 31). 4. Tighten the mounting bolts. 1 2 Figure 29 1. Nozzle clamp 3 Cleaning the Nozzle Guides 1 5 4 Check and remove any grass, dirt or debris buildup around and in between the nozzle guides (Figure 30). If the nozzle guides are not keep free of debris, the nozzle may not rotate freely which could cause the motor to stall. 1 G015845 Figure 31 1. Mounting bolts 4.
2. If installing batteries in an empty battery compartment, install three fresh size AAA batteries. Be sure to position the batteries as shown in Figure 32. 3. If replacing expired batteries, remove the old batteries and install three fresh size AAA batteries. Be sure to position the batteries as shown in Figure 32. 4. Replace the compartment cover and tighten the four Phillips screws. These screws should not be over-tightened, but they should be tight enough to assure the gasket provides a proper seal.
Storage 10. Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces. Paint is available from your Authorized Service Dealer. 1. Turn the key to off. Remove spark plug wire. Remove the key. 2.
