floor. In this “balanced” position the equipment
can be readily moved from site to site.
A. Tilting the Machine
This is a heavy piece of equipment. Caution
should be used in tilting the machine. This can be
accomplished safely and easily as follows:
1. One man method:
a. Standing behind the machine, place one
foot on the brace at the base of the
propane tank.
b. Place one hand on the handle and the
other on the “U” frame handle support.
c. While pulling and leaning back, lift the
other foot off the floor and extend it
directly behind. This will shift the
balance and naturally tilt the equipment
to transport or full “tilt back” position
without undue strain.
2.Two man method:
Two people side by side perform the above
procedure simultaneously. This is a safer,
more comfortable technique to use until
more experience isgained with the equipment.
B. Position for Maintenance & Cleaning
To perform certain maintenance & cleaning tasks
or to change brushes the machine should be
placed in the full “tilt back” position.
I. PREPARATION
A. Check that the suggested maintenance
schedule has been observed:
All machines are equipped with a multi-function
maintenance meter. The functions include the
following: hour meter, service alert and tachometer.
(See Engine Maintenance Meter Instructions on p.4).
B. Check the engine oil before every operation:
Make sure the machine is level when checking the
oil. Always take 2 readings of the dipstick before
adding oil. If the oil level is below the full mark,
add just enough oil to the engine to bring the oil
level up to the full mark. Never over fill. Follow
the guidelines in your Engine Owners Manual.
Check for foreign material on the dipstick.
C. Properly fill and check your LPG tank and
all LPG fuel lines for leaks:
1. Every tank has been pressure and leak
tested. However, every time a tank is filled
and/or connected to the machine it should
be soap tested. All LPG lines must be
pressurized and every inch of line and
connections must be sprayed. If you find a
leak, make the proper repairs before
operating the machine. NOTE: The
connection and disconnection of the LPG
tank must be done in a well ventilated area
with NO source of ignition within 10 feet (3
meters) from the point of connection.
2. Never over fill the LPG tank: The LPG
tank is designed to hold just 20 pounds of
propane. Make sure to weigh the tank as it
is being filled. The gross weight of a full
tank should not exceed 48 pounds. If while
operating the machine, you notice frost
forming on the LPG lines or the regulator,
your tank has been over filled. If you
continue to operate the machine in this
condition, damage will occur. The excess
propane in the tank must be removed
before normal operations resume. The
bleeding of a propane tank should be done
in a safe location outside the building. In
some cases the regulator must defrost
before restarting the engine.
D. Connecting the high pressure hose to the
LPG Tank:
Make sure the couplers are in line and screwed
together hand tight. If this is not done properly,
fuel will not pass through to the regulator.
Never complete the connection of the tanks to
the machine by using a wrench. Always do it by
hand. Listen for the rush of fuel to the lock-out
device when you open the tank valve. If you
hear this, it indicates a good connection has
been made at the tank.
E. Install fresh pads or brushes before every
job:
To install a fresh pad, set the machine down in
the rear. Unscrew and remove the pad-
centering ring. Remove the old pad and center
the new pad onto the pad driver. Reinstall the
pad-centering ring. Never “flip” a pad. Keep the
same side down throughout the life of the pad.
Even after a pad is cleaned, you can tell the
