B. Engine
Prior to attempting to operate the engine, read the information
contained in the engine owner's manual. An engine owners manual is
supplied with every gasoline powered concrete saw.
1. Check Oil: Add oil if low. Refer to the engine owner's manual for the
recommended SAE viscosity grades. Capacity of oil is 1.1 liters (1.16 US qt)
2.
Check Fuel: Fill if low. Use only unleaded gasoline with a pump sticker
octane rating of 86 or higher is recommended. Never use an oil and
gasoline mixture!
3. Air Cleaner: Never run the engine without the air cleaner! Rapid engine
wear will result from contaminants being drawn through the carburetor and
into the engine.
4.
Engine Starting: Refer to the engine owner's manual for proper engine
starting procedure.
5. Engine Speed: Always run the engine and the proper speed for the blade
being used. Never run the blade at a higher speed that it is rated for. See
the Blade Speed chart located on the machine’s console or located in the
manual under the heading “Operating the Saw”
C. Water Supply
Pressurized source: Turn the water control to full "ON" when using wet
cutting blades. The required flow rate is 4-6 gallons per minute.
Water Tank on saw: This supply is designed for use with dry blades to
keep the dust levels down. The tank will not supply the proper water flow
rates when used with wet cut only blades. Do not drink the water from this
tank. Fill the tank with water only. Close the water tank valve. Attach the
saws water supply hose to the tank outlet. Fill the tank with water. The
capacity of the tank is 5 US Gallons. When you are ready to cut, adjust
the water supply rate until a fine mist or a slow trickle is made. The
use of water greatly decreases the amount of dust produced during the
cutting process, aids in the cooling of the blade, and provides additional
stability.
