MacHIne StaRt-UP
Do not start machine while drum is in
contact with the ground. Doing so can
cause the operator to lose control of the
machine, resulting in property damage
and/or personal injury.
note:
Do not attempt to raise or lower the cam
lever by force. If it does not move effortlessly,
raise or lower the hand wheel until the cam lever
can be adjusted. Open the propane tank supply,
then lock the throttle lever at the “Fast Idle”
position. Start the engine, then, move throttle
control to open or run position when engine
is warmed up. Increase throttle to maximum
operating position (approx. 2800RPM) and
close choke. Before substrate removal, test run
the drum with cutters not touching the surface.
If there is excessive vibration, you need to
re-balance the cutter set-up, check bearing
condition, and/or make sure that the drive shaft
is secured.

of a malfunction or an accident (such as the

Kill” Button. Attach the end of the cord to the
operator’s belt or wrist, and snap the clip into
place on the stop switch by raising the top of
the Engine Kill Button and inserting the clip into
the gap. If the operator becomes distanced too
far from the machine, the cord will detach from
the stop switch, and the machine will stop run
