DANGER WARNING 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. Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness. • Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills. • Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or conditioner bottle opening.
Filling the Fuel Tank Crankcase Capacity: 1. Park the machine on a level surface and stop the engine. • 0.28 L (0.30 US qt) for models 68034 and 68035 2. Allow the engine to cool. • 0.40 L (0.37 US qt) for model 68036 3. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove it (Figure 9). Viscosity: SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. 2 1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. 2. Tilt the machine so that the engine is level.
Checking the Spring-housing Oil Starting and Stopping the Engine Service Interval: Before each use or daily Starting the Engine Oil Type: 4-cycle engine oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service category SJ, SL, SM, or higher. 1. Move the engine on/off switch to the run position (counterclockwise); refer to Engine On/Off Switch (page 6). Capacity: 0.47 L (0.5 US qt) 2. Move the choke lever to the closed position if you are starting a cold engine; refer to Choke Lever (page 7).
Transporting the Machine CAUTION If you tip the machine when the engine on/off switch is in the run position, fuel can leak out of the fuel tank. A fuel leak could lead to a fire and cause serious personal injury. Drain the fuel tank or ensure that the engine on/off switch is in the stop position before tipping the machine. G023106 Figure 12 Important: Before transporting the machine, secure it with straps or chains to prevent it from falling or tipping over.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Important: You may tip the machine forward, if you drain the fuel tank or move the engine on/off switch to the stop position, to make cleaning or servicing the machine easier. If you lay the machine onto the side, oil can drain out of the crankcase, into the air cleaner or the muffler. Allow the oil to settle for at least 2 minutes after standing the machine upright before starting the engine.
Engine Maintenance Disconnecting the Spark-plug Wire Servicing the Air Cleaner Pull the spark-plug wire off the terminal of the spark plug (Figure 13 or Figure 14). Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the air filter. Every 50 hours—Clean the air-filter elements (more frequently if conditions are dusty or sandy). 1 Every 200 hours—Replace the paper air-filter element (more frequently if conditions are dusty or sandy).
D. Servicing the Air Filter—Model 68036 Gently wind the prefilter in an absorbent cloth, and squeeze out the excess oil. 1. Open the latch of the air-filter cover (Figure 18). 5. Install the prefilter as follows: A A. Align the prefilter inside of the cover. B. Align the prefilter cover to the housing. C. Secure the cover to the housing with the screws. B 1 2 Servicing the Air Filter—Models 68034 and 68035 C 1.
5. Remove the drain plug, and drain the oil from the engine (Figure 20). 10. Install the air-cleaner elements and ensure that they are properly positioned (Figure 19). Important: Ensure that the open end of the air-cleaner elements are facing inward toward the machine, as the machine will not run if the elements are not placed in the proper air orientation due to air restriction (Figure 19). 3 2 G020104 1 Figure 19 1. Open end of the paper element Figure 20 2. Open end of the foam element 1.
Servicing the Spring-housing Oil 9. Add oil to the spring housing; refer to Adding Oil to the Spring Housing (page 17). 10. Install and torque the oil sight plug to 54 N-m (39.8 ft-lb). Oil Type: 4-cycle engine oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service category SJ, SL, SM, or higher. Important: Allow the oil to settle for at least 2 minutes after standing the machine upright before starting the engine. Capacity: 0.47 L (0.5 US qt) Viscosity: SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use.
Checking the Spark Plug Servicing the Spark Plug 1. Look at the center of the spark plug (Figure 24). If you see light brown or gray on the insulator, the engine is operating properly. A black coating on the insulator usually means that the air cleaner is dirty. Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check the spark plug. Ensure that the air gap between the center electrode and the side electrode is correct before installing the spark plug.
Compactor Shoe Maintenance Cleaning Service Interval: Before each use or daily Regular cleaning and washing will increase the life span of the machine. Clean the machine immediately after use, before the dirt hardens. Removing Debris from the Checking the Compactor Shoe Machine Among the most critical elements of the machine is the compactor shoe. It is also the most subject to damage and wear.
Removing the Machine from Storage Storage For storage over 30 days, prepare the machine as follows: 1. Check and tighten all fasteners. 1. Remove dirt and grime from the external parts of the entire machine, especially the engine. Clean all granular objects from the outside of the engine cylinder-head fins and the blower housing. 2. Inspect the spark plug and replace it if it is dirty, worn, or cracked; refer to the engine Operator’s Manual. 3.
Troubleshooting Problem The engine will not start. Possible Cause Corrective Action 1. The air filter for model 68036 is placed backwards in the air-filter cover. 1. Switch the orientation of the air filter in the air-filter cover. 2. The engine on/off switch is in the stop position. 3. The choke is open. 2. Move the switch to the run position. 4. The fuel tank is empty. 5. The spark-plug wire is loose or disconnected. 6. The spark plug is fouled or improperly gapped. The engine runs rough. 3.
