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.
Note: 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 your face away from the nozzle and fuel tank or conditioner opening. • Keep gasoline away from your 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. • Then, press and hold the START button until the engine starts. Starting the Engine WARNING Rotating parts can cause serious personal injury. • Keep hands and feet away from the machine when it is running. • Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. • Never operate the machine with covers, shrouds, or guards removed. Figure 13 1.
• When in the time-out mode the engine will not run (or Failure to follow these instructions can burn out starter motor. will quit running) and the remote control will not control any function. 5. After the engine starts, move the choke control to the OFF position. If the engine stalls or hesitates, move the choke back to the ON position for a few seconds, then set the engine speed to the desired setting. Repeat this as required.
Adjusting the Nozzle Direction • Practice operating the blower. It is advisable to blow the The direction of the nozzle opening can be changed from right to left by pressing the appropriate button on the remote control (Figure 15). • Be aware of the blower nozzle direction and do not point same direction the wind is blowing to prevent material from blowing back into the cleared area. it at anyone. • Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 8 hours • Check the condition and the tension of the 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.
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 Important: Do not install a damaged filter. 3. Install the new air filter; refer to Installing the Air Filter (page 18). Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Clean the foam air filter element and check the paper element for damage (more frequently if conditions are dusty or sandy). Installing the Air Filter Every 100 hours—Replace the paper air filter element (more frequently if conditions are dusty or sandy).
Servicing the Carbon Canister Replacing the Carbon Canister Air Filter Service Interval: Every 200 hours 1. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. 2. Remove and discard the carbon canister air filter (Figure 17). 2 1 g018506 Figure 18 1. Carbon-canister purge-line filter 2. Check valve 3. Remove and discard the carbon filter (Figure 18). 4.
Checking the Engine Oil Level Note: A hose may be inserted onto the drain valve to direct the oil flow. The hose is not included with the machine. Service Interval: Before each use or daily 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.
3. Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on the replacement filter (Figure 22). 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 22). 5. Fill the crankcase with the proper type of new oil; refer to Servicing the Engine Oil (page 19). 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 24). Bend the side electrode (Figure 24) 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 25). Figure 26 1. Fuel filter 2. Hose clamp 4.
