How to Operate the Machine
Preparing The Machine For Use
BEFORE using any type of powered equipment, proper safety dictates you should visually inspect it.
1. Adjust the HANDLE to a comfortable height and tighten the bolts.
2. BONNET FILTER - Make sure the bonnet air filter atop the engine is clean. It should be changed hourly and
thoroughly cleaned before reuse.
3. Check the engine OIL LEVEL.
** HONDA -
DO NOT
screw the dipstick in to get reading.
**KAWASAKI -
DO
screw the dipstick in to get reading.
4. Fill the tank following the instructions as given under the previous heading: "Refilling And Storing Propane
Tanks."
5. PAD AND PAD HOLDER - Inspect the condition of the pad and pad holder. Is there a pad? Is it properly
attached? What is its condition? Ensure pad is clean and has at least a thickness of 1/3 inch.
ALWAYS turn off engine to clean or replace pad
.
6. TANK and FUEL LINES - The tank has already been covered but do the fuel lines show any sign of wear and
tear, such as cracks or any corrosion? Screw the brass fuel line fitting onto the tank service valve hand tight
only. This connection
MUST
be secure because the service valve has a safety valve inside it which will only
open if the brass fuel line fitting is
COMPLETELY
seated into the service valve.
Starting the Engine
1. Plug in 110 volt starter cord on models so equipped.
2. We recommend setting the throttle on models with 110 volt starter to the following positions:
** HONDA - Set throttle/choke to the "choke" position. **KAWASAKI - The KAWASAKI single cylinder and Kawasaki
twin cylinder engines are designed to be started in the IDLE throttle position. This creates a vacuum necessary to open
the lock-off valve inside the regulator. Actuation of the throttle lever will keep the lock-off valve from opening and the
engine from getting fuel so the engine will not start. Proper maintenance will insure easy starting.
3. Open (counterclockwise) the service valve on the propane tank about one and a half turns.
4. Ensure the buffer is tilted back so that the pad is off the floor on all machines without a clutch.
5. Engage starter for a
MAXIMUM
of 5 to 6 seconds or until the engine fires. Serious starter damage will result if this is
exceeded and the warranty may not apply.
6. Open the "choke" until the engine runs smoothly. (HONDA ONLY)
7. Operate the engine at half throttle for approximately two minutes for proper warm-up. Then advance to full throttle for
best results.
NOTE:
If the engine refuses to start, see the Troubleshooting Guide.
Stopping The Engine
1. Close (clockwise) the service valve on the propane tank.
2. ALWAYS allow the engine to run until it stops from lack of fuel.
• ONLY IN AN EMERGENCY should the "stop" position on a HONDA throttle or the "kill switch" on a KAWASAKI.
3. Disconnect the fuel line tram the tank.
4.
REMEMBER
, when you are finished with the machine, store the propane tank outside the building, in a
SECURE
place away from heat or direct sunlight.
