Operation DANGER In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. 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 • Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills. • Fuel tank capacity: 18.9 l (5 US gallons) • Recommended Fuel: • Never fill the fuel tank inside an enclosed trailer.
This space in the tank allows gasoline to expand. Do not fill the fuel tanks completely full. WARNING Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness. • Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. • Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or conditioner opening. • Keep gas away from eyes and skin. 4. Install fuel tank cap securely. 5. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.
Starting and Stopping the Engine • Then, press the rotate right button. Starting the Engine Important: Do not engage starter for more than 10 seconds at a time. If engine fails to start allow 30 second cool-down period between attempts. Failure to follow these instructions can burn out starter motor. • Then, press and hold the START button until the engine starts.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, 3 or other objects that may obscure vision. 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. g020741 2 • Run the engine at full throttle when operating. Figure 12 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 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.

3. Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on the replacement filter (Figure 21). 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 21). 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.
Important: Always replace a spark plug when it has a black coating, worn electrodes, an oily film, or cracks. 2. Check the gap between the center and side electrodes (Figure 23). Bend the side electrode (Figure 23) if the gap is not correct. 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. Disconnect the wires from the spark plugs (Figure 24). Figure 25 1. Fuel filter 2. Hose clamp 4.
Cleaning the Engine Screen and the Oil Cooler 1 Service Interval: Before each use or daily Before each use, check and clean the engine screen and oil cooler.
