OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Handle bar WARNING Fuel tank and fill cap ASPHYXIATION HAZARD Running an engine in a confined or badly ventilated area can result in injury or death due to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. Open the engine throttle lever to full open position for maximum engine speed by pulling the throttle knob (O) at the handle. Lower the front guide to the full down position by pushing the control handle (N) on the right forward.
FUEL HANDLING OIL HANDLING WARNING NOTICE Taking the following precautions will lessen the risk of injury and property damage: - Use extreme care in handling gasoline. It is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. - Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition. - Use only approved gasoline containers. - Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool a minimum of 3 minutes before refueling. - Never fuel the machine indoors.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE Engine Oil Checking, Adding and Changing Oil Check the engine oil level (A) daily with saw fully lowered and the engine level. See the enclosed Kohler manual for more details. Use SAE 10W-30 viscosity detergent automotive type with API service class SE or higher grade oil. Note: Engine holds approximately 2 quart (1.9 liter) when changing oil and oil filter.
OTHER MAINTENANCE Battery The battery is maintenance free. If the battery ever requires charging, use only a voltage regulated taper current charger designed specifically for sealed lead acid gel cell batteries rated at 2 amps or less (part # 505583501). A standard automotive, or any other type, battery charger not designed specifically for sealed gel batteries will cause permanent damage to the installed battery and void any warranty.
SAWING CONTRACTION JOINTS As concrete hydrates or cures and begins to set, it develops internal stresses which may cause random cracks. Random cracks cast doubt on the quality and workmanship of the concrete. Contraction joints are cut in concrete to relieve these stresses before they seek their own relief in the form of random crack.
MAXIMIZING THE SOFF-CUT SYSTEM “ The timing of concrete operations - especially finishing and jointing - is critical”, states a quote from the foreword of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) 302.1 R-96. It goes on to say that “Failure to address this issue can contribute to undesirable characteristics in the wearing surface as cracking...” (It mentions other problems). The patented Soff-Cut Ultra Early Entry system has revolutionized the method used to control random cracking.
TROUBLESHOOTING SAW IS SPALLING AND RAVELLING CUT ENGINE WILL NOT START - Check to see if the diamond blade is worn out, glazed, warped or damaged. - Check that the rocker switch is in the “on” position. - Insure skid plate moves freely up and down the entire shaft length without contacting the diamond blade. - Check skid plate for excessive wear or gap around the diamond blade. - Check skid plate for tension or loose mounts. Skid plates are preset at the factory.
