MACHINE OPERATION
YOUR SR7770HC MACHINE HAS BEEN SHIPPED COMPLETE, BUT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE WITH-
OUT FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION
1.
Connect and tighten battery cables.
2. Fill the tank with REGULAR GRADE gasoline.
WARNING
Never fill tank while engine is running. Always be sure gasoline container and sweeper are electri-
cally connected before pouring gasoline. This can easily be done by providing an insulated wire
(permanently attached to container) with battery clip on the other end.
3. Check engine crankcase oil level. Although properly lubricated at factory, check before starting engine. No
special break in oil is used and recommended number of operating hours before the initial oil change is the
same as normal. See Maintenance.
4. Check radiator coolant level. Permanent type antifreeze is added at the factory to provide protection to
approximately -35° F (37° C). To retain this protection level, always add 1/2 part water to 1/2 part anti
freeze.
5. Check oil level in the hydraulic reservoir located at center of machine beside the engine. Oil fill level should
be two (2) inches (5 cm.) below filler neck assembly. If oil is required, add HYDRAULIC FLUID ONLY,
automatic transmission fluid FORD type “F”. After the first 50 operating hours, service must be performed
on your engine to insure future high performance and trouble free operation. See Maintenance.
