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.
the nozzle opening and don’t direct discharge toward bystanders. Check the fan shaft bearing mounting bolts and nuts frequently to be sure that they are tightened to specification. • 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.
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. 115-5106 1. Warning—read the Operator’s Manual. 2. Thrown object hazard—keep bystanders a safe distance from the machine. 3.

Setup Loose Parts Use the chart below to verify that all parts have been shipped. Procedure Description 1 2 Electrolyte (not supplied) A/R Charge the battery Petroleum jelly (not supplied) A/R Install the battery Debris blower assembly Hitch Bolt (3/8 x 3 inches) Flange nut (3/8 inch) Hitch clevis Bolt (5/8 x 4–1/2 inch) Lock nut (5/8 inch) Hitch pin Clevis 3 4 Use Qty.
2. Remove the strap securing the battery cover to the battery box (Figure 3). 1 Remove, Activate and Charge Battery Parts needed for this procedure: A/R Electrolyte (not supplied) Procedure 1. If the battery is not filled with electrolyte or activated, bulk electrolyte with 1.260 specific gravity must be purchased from a local battery supply outlet and added to the battery. Figure 3 1. Battery strap 2.
Important: Do not overfill the battery. Electrolyte will overflow onto other parts of the machine and severe corrosion and deterioration will result. WARNING Battery terminals or metal tools could short against metal processor components causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. • When removing or installing the battery, do not allow the battery terminals to touch any metal parts of the machine.

Choke Control To start a cold engine, move the choke control lever (Figure 10) to the ON position. Figure 10 1. Ignition switch 2. Choke control 3. Hour meter Hour Meter The hour meter (Figure 10) indicates the total hours of machine operation.
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.
3. Rotate the engine ignition key to the “START” position and quickly release it to the “ON” position. This wakes up the receiver (Figure 13). Note: If the key was left in the on position for an extended time, move the key to the off position before proceeding to the starting procedure. 4. On the remote, use the following sequence to start the engine: Note: Using this sequence prevents the remote from accidentally starting the engine. • Press the START button. • Then, press the rotate left button.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision. 3 1 • Reduce your speed when making sharp turns and when turning on hillsides • Before backing up, look to the rear and ensure that no one is behind the machine. • Do not run the engine in or direct the blower nozzle into a confined area without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and could possibly be deadly. G014059 2 Figure 14 1. Nozzle direction, right 2.
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 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 2. Dry the pre-filter by squeezing it in a clean cloth (do not wring). Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Clean the foam air filter element and check the paper element for damage. Every 100 hours—Replace the paper air filter element. 3. Put one or two ounces (29.6 or 59.1 ml) of oil on the pre-filter (Figure 16). Note: Service the air cleaner more frequently if operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy. Figure 16 Removing the Filters 1. Foam element 1.
Servicing the Engine Oil Note: Change the oil more frequently when the operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy. Oil Type: Detergent oil (API service SG, SH, SJ or higher) Crankcase Capacity: w/filter, 67 ounces (2 l) Viscosity: See the table below. Figure 19 1. Oil dipstick 2. Filler tube 4. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the end clean (Figure 19). 5. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube, but do not thread onto tube (Figure 19). 6. Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal end.
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. Synchronize the Remote Transmitter/Control Module If the remote or transmitter is ever replaced, the remote will have to be re-synchronized with the receiver. Figure 20 1. Oil drain valve 2. Oil drain hose (Not included) 1.
Servicing the Spark Plugs Ensure that the air gap between the center and side electrodes is correct before installing the spark plug. 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 a new spark plugs if necessary. Type: Champion® RC12YC, Champion® Platinum 3071 or equivalent Air Gap: 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) Figure 24 Checking the Spark Plugs 1. Spark-plug wire 2. Spark plug Service Interval: Every 200 hours 1.
Cleaning the Engine Screen and the Oil Cooler Service Interval: Before each use or daily Before each use, check and clean the engine screen and oil cooler. Remove any build up of grass, dirt or other debris from the oil cooler and engine screen (Figure 26). Figure 25 1. Fuel filter 2. Hose clamp Figure 26 4. Remove the filter from the fuel lines. 1.
