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.

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 DANGER 1. Battery strap 3. Battery box 2.
WARNING Charging the battery produces gasses that can explode. Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and flames away from battery. 8. After charging, remove the vent caps and check the electrolyte level. 9. If needed, fill each cell to the proper level (Figure 4). 10. When the battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the electrical outlet and the battery posts. 1 2 Install the Battery Parts needed for this procedure: G014153 A/R Figure 4 1.

Engine Start After completing the starting sequence, press the Engine Start button to start the engine (Figure 9).
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.
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 1. Wash the foam pre-filter in liquid soap and warm water. When clean, rinse it thoroughly. 2. Dry the pre-filter by squeezing it in a clean cloth (do not wring). 3. Put one or two ounces (29.6 or 59.1 ml) of oil on the pre-filter (Figure 16). 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.
Servicing the Carbon Canister Filters Replacing the Carbon Canister Air Filter Service Interval: Every 200 hours (Service more frequently if conditions are extremely dusty or sandy) 1. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 2 1 2. Remove and discard the carbon canister air filter (Figure 18) g018506 Figure 19 1. Carbon canister purge-line 2. Check valve filter 3. Remove and discard the carbon filter (Figure 19). 1 4.
Checking the Engine Oil Level 4. Place a pan below the drain. Rotate oil drain valve to allow oil to drain (Figure 22). Service Interval: Before each use or daily Note: A hose may be inserted onto the drain valve to direct the oil flow. The hose is not included with the machine. Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when the engine is cool before it has been started for the day. If it has already been run, allow the oil to drain back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes before checking.

Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on the replacement filter (Figure 23). 4. Install the replacement oil filter to the filter adapter, turn the oil filter clockwise until the rubber gasket contacts the filter adapter, then tighten the filter an additional 2/3 to 1 turn (Figure 23). 5. Fill the crankcase with the proper type of new oil; refer to Servicing the Engine Oil. 6.
Important: Always replace the spark plugs when it has a black coating, worn electrodes, an oily film, or cracks. 2. Check the gap between the center and side electrodes (Figure 25). Bend the side electrode (Figure 25) if the gap is not correct. 3. Squeeze the ends of the hose clamps together and slide them away from the filter (Figure 27). Removing the Spark Plugs 1. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 2.
Cleaning the Engine Screen and the Oil Cooler 1 2 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 28). 3 1 5 4 Figure 28 1. Engine screen 2. Oil cooler Checking the Nozzle Clamp G015845 Figure 30 Service Interval: Before each use or daily Check the nozzle clamp (Figure 29) daily to assure it is tight.
A. Add a petroleum based stabilizer/conditioner to fuel in the tank. Follow mixing instructions from stabilizer manufacture. Do not use an alcohol based stabilizer (ethanol or methanol). Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when mixed with fresh gasoline and used at all times. B. Run engine to distribute conditioned fuel through the fuel system (5 minutes). C. Stop engine, allow to cool and drain the fuel tank; refer to Servicing the Fuel Tank. D. Restart engine and run it until it stops.
