STARTING PROCEDURE (GAS OPERATED):
14B
* WARM CLIMATE
IMPORTANT
: Set the machine in an upright position and
adjust the cutter cage to maximum height by turning the
height adjustment knob (51) to its farthest position. (This
will ensure clearance for the rotation cage.)
Open fuel valve on gas tank. Set throttle lever to “Fast”
idle position, set choke to closed position, start engine.
Open choke slightly to prevent flooding. Move to “Open” or
“Run” position when engine is warm, increase throttle to
maximum operation position (3600 rpm).
STARTING PROCEDURE (GAS OPERATED):
* COLD CLIMATE
With the machine in upright position, follow same
procedure as above but allow longer warm-up period – 3
to 5 minutes. In cold weather, oil is much heavier to move
and requires more time to work its way into the moving
parts. If maximum power is not attained, allow further
warm-up time. Fill fuel tank with clean gasoline, use
safety approved gas containers. DO NOT MIX OIL WITH
GASOLINE (USE UNLEADED GAS ONLY.)
STARTING PROCEDURE (ELECTRIC):
With the cage in maximum raised position, plug in power
cord to power source. Press the start button. Run-in for
two (2) minutes. Press the stop button, then re-start.
Ensure your cable is of sufficient size to run the motor
properly. (14/3 type S for 220 volt; 16/3 type S for 440
volt.)
STARTING PROCEDURE (AIR):
With cage in maximum raised position, attach air supply
(minimum 90 C.F.M. at 90 P.S.I.) turn quick opening valve
on. Run in for two (2) minutes. Turn off valve, then re-
start. The air regulator is equipped with a pressure gauge.
The recommended operating pressure is 90 P.S.I. at 90
C.F.M.; however when the unit is running with no load
(cutters not engaged) the gauge will read 40 P.S.I. When
the cutters are engaged the indicator needle should rise to
90 P.S.I.
STOPPING PROCEDURE:
With machine in upright position, adjust the cutter cage to
maximum height by turning the height adjustment knob
(51) to its farthest position. (This ensures clearance for the
rotating cage.)
GAS UNIT
– Stop engine by depressing kill switch button
(53) located at top of handle.
AIR UNIT
– Turn off air supply valve (25).
ELECTRIC UNIT
– Turn off switch on handle (11).
MAINTENANCE
The SPS Machine is generally run in very dusty
conditions. Engine life will be extended by maintaining a
clean engine and using a dust control system. See
owners manual for a complete maintenance schedule.
AIR CLEANER (GAS UNIT)
- Keep air filter clean at
all times. Wash away dust and debris using a non-oil
based cleaning solvent. Let the filter dry before re-
installing.
MAINTENANCE (Cont.)
LUBRICATION
– Always check engine oil regularly.
Use proper engine oil as recommended. See chart
below. Fill crankcase to levels as recommended in
manufacture’s engine manual.
SPARK PLUG (GAS UNIT)
–
Check and clean spark
plugs regularly. A fouled, dirty or carboned spark plug
causes hard starting and poor engine performance.
Set spark plug gap to recommended clearance. Refer
to engine manual.
BELT TENSION –
IMPORTANT!
If there is excessive belt play, there will be a decrease
in the cutting/grinding action, which could cause cage
and machine damage. The normal belt play should be
3/8” to 1/2” which is attained by depressing the top
section of the belt at the belt guard mounting bracket
location. When adjusting the belt make sure that the
drive pulley is in alignment with cage pulley. Tighten
all engine mount bolts, adjust the two engine-stop
bolts, and tighten lock nuts.
DRIVE SHAFT
– Keep a coating of grease on the
drive shaft and threads for easy installation or removal
and longer bushing life.
SPOT CHECKS
– Perform as required. Machine
should be inspected with ignition in “OFF” position or
power disconnected. Do not perform inspections while
machine is running.
Check all fasteners for tightness – machine is
subject to vibration.
Check “V” belt for wear; adjust or replace as
required.
Check that wheels are clean and rotation
freely.
Check that inside of housing is clean; remove
any build-up as required.
Check that pulleys are aligned properly to
ensure that “V” belt is running true. (i.e. not at
an angle.)
