Safety • Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision. • Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. • See the manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Use only the accessories that are approved by the manufacturer.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Always be sure of your footing on slopes. Walk; never run. Keep a firm hold on the handle. Exercise caution when changing the direction on slopes. Do not operate on steep slopes. Never operate the machine with damaged or missing guards or shields, or without safety devices (such as blower tube or debris bag) in place. Disengage the traction drive lever before starting the engine. Do not put your hands or feet near or under the snout.

Operation Adding Fuel Before operating, check the fuel and oil level, and remove debris from the machine. Also, ensure that the area is clear of people and debris. 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. • Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills. • Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Checking the Oil Level Use unleaded gasoline (87 pump octane minimum). Leaded, regular gasoline may be used if unleaded is not available. Important: Do not use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, or gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Important: The machine is shipped without oil in the crankcase. You must fill the crankcase with 20 oz. (0.
Important: Do not pull the recoil rope to its limit or let go of the starter handle when the rope is pulled out because the rope may break or the recoil assembly may be damaged. The traction belt drive pulley is rotating whenever the engine is running, even when the traction drive is disengaged. Contact with the pulley could cause severe injury. 4. As the engine warms up, slowly move the choke lever to the Off position (Figure 16). Stay away from moving pulleys and other parts.

Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the rst 8 operating hours • Change the oil. Before each use or daily • Check the oil level. • Check the foam air cleaner element. Every 25 hours • Grease the rear idler assembly (more often in dusty or dirty conditions). • Clean the foam and paper air cleaner elements (more often in dusty or dirty conditions). Every 50 hours • Change the oil (more often in dusty or dirty conditions).
• Each of the caster wheel bushings • Where the front wheel support pivots in the engine base (Figure 25) • Where the rear traction shafts pivot in the engine base (Figure 25) 3. Clean around the oil dipstick and remove it (Figure 26). Figure 26 1. Oil dipstick 2. Metal end 4. Clean the area around the drain plug (Figure 27). Figure 25 1. Rear idler assembly 2. Oil point 3. 4. Grease point Traction shafts Greasing the Rear Idler Assembly Lubricate the rear idler assembly with No.
Important: Do not start the engine without the air cleaner elements installed otherwise extreme engine wear and damage will result. Clean them more often if you operate in dusty or dirty conditions. Replace both elements if they are excessively dirty of damaged. To clean the elements, complete the following: Servicing the Spark Plug 1. Stop the engine and pull the wire off of the spark plug. Check the spark plug after every 100 operating hours or yearly whichever comes first.
Drive System Maintenance 2. Check the gap between the center and side electrodes (Figure 30). 3. Bend the side electrode (Figure 30) if the gap is not correct. Adjusting the Traction Drive As the friction wheels and tires experience normal wear, it will be necessary to adjust the traction drive linkage occasionally. 1. Stop the engine. 2. Loosen the lower nut on the bottom side of the bracket (Figure 31). Figure 30 1. Center electrode insulator 2. Side electrode 3.
Belt Maintenance Adjusting the Drive Belt Adjust the drive belt if loss of traction occurs or if the belt slips. Adjust the traction drive first. 1. Stop the engine and pull the wire off of the spark plug. 2. Loosen the nut and slide the pulley until belt is at the proper tension (Figure 32). Figure 33 1. Vacuum snout 2. Lower edge of ange 3. 4. Retainer ange Locknut 7. Slip the bag off of the chute and remove the chute (Figure 33). 8.
9. Remove the bolt securing the blower housing and lift the housing as much as the impeller allows (Figure 34). 10. Route the new belt around the blower housing (Figure 35). Figure 37 1. 2. 3. Figure 35 Cotter pin Set screws Shaft 4. 5. Belt Sprockets 1. Belt around housing 15. Install the belt around the drive shaft pulley (Figure 37). 11. Insert the belt over the pulley and down through the opening (Figure 36).
Storage E. Choke the engine. F. Start and run the engine until it will not start again. 1. Stop the engine and remove the wire from the spark plug. G. Dispose of fuel properly. Recycle as per local codes. 2. Remove dirt and grime from the external parts of the entire machine, especially the engine. Clean dirt and chaff from the outside of the engine cooling system. Important: Do not store stabilizer/conditioned gasoline over 90 days. Important: Do not pressure wash the engine. 11.
