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.
Maintenance and Adjustments
Emission Control Information
To protect the environment in which we will live, the manufacturer has incorporated
(1)
crankcase emission
and
(2)
exhaust emission control systems (EM) in compliance with applicable regulations of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board.
1
.
Crankcase Emission Control System.
A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is used to
eliminate blow-by gases. The blow-by gases are led to the breather chamber through the crankcase. Then,
it is led to the air cleaner. Oil is separated from the gases while passing through the inside of the breather
chamber from the
crankcase, and then returned back to the bottom of crankcase.
2. Exhaust Emission Control System.
The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine
consists of a carburetor and an ignition system having optimum ignition timing characteristics. The
carburetor has been calibrated to provide lean air/fuel mixture characteristics and optimum fuel economy
with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust system.
Tampering w/Emission Control System Prohibited
: Federal law and California State law prohibits the
following acts or the causing thereof:
(1)
the removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than far
purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element at design incorporated into any
new engine for the purpose of emission control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while
it is in use, or
(2)
the use of the engine after such device or element of design has been removed or
rendered inoperative by any person.
Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering involve the parts/systems listed below:
>Carburetor and internal parts
>Spark plugs
>Magneto or electronic ignition system
>Fuel filter element
>Air cleaner elements
>Crankcase
>Cylinder heads
>Breather chamber and internal parts
>Intake pipe and tube
