Safe Handling of Fuels – Operate only in daylight or when there is good artificial light. • To avoid personal injury or property damage, use • • • • • • • • • • • extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition. Use only an approved fuel container. Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Never refuel the machine indoors.
Maintenance and Storage • Make sure that the machinery and surrounding area is clear before operating. Do not activate the remote control system until certain that it is safe to do so. • Let engine cool before storing and do not store near flame. • Power can be removed from the RF2CAN and TEC2403 • Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do not store controllers by removing the source power from the circuit. fuel near flames or drain indoors. • Park machine on level ground.
• Use full width ramps for loading machine into trailer or truck. • Tie the machine down securely using straps, chains, cable, or ropes. Both front and rear straps should be directed down and outward from the machine. Safety and Instructional Decals Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or lost. 115-5105 1. Warning—read the Operator's Manual. 2.

Operation Using unapproved gasoline may cause performance problems and/or engine damage which may not be covered under warranty. Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. – Do not use gasoline containing methanol. Attaching the Trailer – Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer is used. This trailer uses a coupler that requires a 2 inch ball for the hitch. – Do not add oil to gasoline.
Filling the Fuel Tank DANGER 1. Shut the engine off. 2. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap and remove the cap (Figure 13). 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.
Checking the Torque of the Wheel Lug Nuts Service Interval: After the first 10 hours Check the torque of the wheel lug nuts initially and after the first 10 hours of operation. WARNING Failure to maintain proper torque could result in failure or loss of wheel and could result in personal injury. Torque wheel lug nuts to 95 to 122 N-m (70 to 90 ft-lb) Figure 15 3. Ignition switch 1. Choke control Starting and Stopping the Engine 2. Hour meter 4.
Note: If the START button is not pressed within 10 seconds after pressing the ROTATE RIGHT button, or any other button is pressed in this period, the Engine Start Enable Condition expires Note: Engine Start Enable Condition persists for 10 seconds after pressing the ROTATE RIGHT button allowing momentary activation of Engine Start by pressing the START button.
Adjusting the Nozzle Direction • Place chocked blocks underneath wheels to prevent The direction of the nozzle opening can be changed from right to left by pressing the appropriate button on the remote control (Figure 18). • • • • • rolling, while parked, if disconnected from towing vehicle. Inflate tires to correct pressure, inspect tires for cuts, and excessive wear. When towing the debris blower, rotate the chute to the up position (opening facing upwards).
Important: Raise the nozzle before transporting the blower. If the nozzle is left in the down position during transport, the nozzle may contact the ground and damage to the nozzle may occur. DANGER Tip over can cause serious injury or death. • Never operate on steep slopes. • Operate on slopes up and down, never across the face. • When going uphill or downhill, do not stop or start suddenly. • Stay alert for holes in the terrain or other hidden hazards.
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. Every 50 hours • Check the condition and the tension of the belt.
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 Installing the Air Filter Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Replace the air filter element (more frequently if conditions are dusty or sandy). Important: To prevent engine damage, always operate the engine with the complete air cleaner assembly installed. Important: Do not use a damaged element. Checking the Air Filter Note: Cleaning of the used air-filter element is not recommended due to the possibility of damage to the filter media. 1.
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, but retain the hoses (Figure 20). 2 1 g018506 Figure 21 1. Carbon-canister purge-line filter 2. Check valve 3. Remove and discard the carbon filter (Figure 21). 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 25). 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 25). 5. Fill the crankcase with the proper type of new oil; refer to Servicing the Engine Oil (page 21). 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 27). Bend the side electrode (Figure 27) 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 28). Figure 29 1. Fuel filter 2.
