TERMINATOR® OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Using the respective dipstick, test the oil level of the engine oil and the hydraulic oil (fluid). Add oil and
hydraulic fluid, if needed.
Inspect the fuel system connectors and the valve; make sure the valve is OFF.
Have two tanks of propane on hand: one to install and one in reserve. (Each tank provides approximately 3 to
4 hours operating time.)
CAUTION! Wear insulated gloves and handle the propane tanks and fuel with extreme
care, according to the manufacturer’s instruction.
DO NOT WORK WITH PROPANE NEAR A FLAME OR SPARKING EQUIPMENT.
Drive or transport the Terminator® to the work site: (first time drivers see page 17)
For Model 2 machines –
If you drive to the site, check the ignition switch and all fuel flow connections to make sure they are OFF.
At the jobsite, install a tank of propane, check the fuel system connectors again, turn the flow switch ON,
remove the hood brace from the locking bracket, lower the brace to its down position, lower the hood and
lock it in place.
Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Raise the blade jaw a few inches to clear the floor and avoid
damage to the blade in transit.
If you transport the Terminator® by forklift or truck, anchor the machine in place with chains, wheel locks,
or other tie down devices.
