Checking the Coolant Level
1. Place the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the radiator cap by turning it counterclockwise
and check the coolant level in the radiator.
3. Coolant level must be maintained to the first step
(pressure cap sealing seat) of the filler neck.
4. If the amount of coolant is insufficient, fill the radiator to
the bottom of the radiator filler neck with coolant, and
reinstall the cap by turning it clockwise.
CAUTION: For refilling, add a 1:1 mixture of coolant and
soft water. Adding water alone dilutes the coolant and
may result in corrosion of the aluminum engine parts.
The diluted coolant can attack the aluminum engine
parts. In an emergency, soft water can be added.
However, the diluted coolant must be returned to the
correct mixture ratio within a few days.
CAUTION: Soft or distilled water must be used with the
antifreeze in the cooling system. Use a 1:1 mixture of
soft water and coolant. If hard water is used in the
system, it causes scales accumulation in the water
passages, and considerably reduces the efficiency of
the cooling system.
If coolant must be added often, there is probably leakage
in the cooling system. Check the system for leaks (see
“Visual Leak Inspection” in the engine service manual).
Connecting the Battery
The machine is shipped with the battery disconnected.
1. Connect the positive (RED) battery cable FIRST.
2. Connect the negative (BLACK) battery cable LAST.
Filling the Safe-Fill Fuel Cylinder
Amano Pioneer Eclipse uses the 20 lb. capacity aluminum
Safe-Fill cylinder which meets the D.O.T. 4E240 standards.
These cylinders are also listed by UL. Filling should be
done ONLY by a qualified propane dealer. A properly filled
cylinder should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity.
DO NOT attempt Safe-Fill cylinder repair. Return the
cylinder to your propane dealer if repair is necessary.
Please note that DOT regulations prohibit shipping of
cylinders after the cylinder has been filled with propane.
Installing the Safe-Fill Fuel Cylinder
Place the Safe-Fill
cylinder on the
cylinder platform at
the back of the
machine. Connect the
fuel hose coupling to
the service valve by
turning to the right
(clockwise).
HAND TIGHTEN
ONLY. Make sure
coupling is not cross threaded and check for leakage by
noting any propane odors immediately after cylinder is
connected. Next, connect the two ends of the tank strap to
one another and secure strap end to the velcro.
TO REMOVE THE SAFE-FILL CYLINDER, reverse the
above procedure. Always connect or change cylinders in a
well ventilated area.
