continuously for more than 10 seconds at a time.
If the Engine does not start, allow a 60-second
cool-down period between starting attempts.
Failure to follow these guidelines can burn out the
starter motor.
C A U T I O N
: If the Engine develops
sufficient speed to disengage the starter
but does not keep running (a "false start"), the
Engine rotation must be allowed to come to a
complete stop before attempting to restart the
Engine.
If the starter is engaged while the flywheel is
rotating, the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear
may clash, resulting in damage to the starter.
If the starter does not turn the Engine over, shut
off starter immediately. Do not make further
attempts to start the Engine until the condition is
corrected.
If the battery charge is not sufficient to turn over
the Engine, recharge the battery.
CAUTION
: Do not attempt to jump start the
Engine with another battery. Starting with
batteries larger than those recommended can
burn out the starter motor.
WARM-UP PERIOD
Run Engine at half speed for 5 minutes.
Do not run Engine at fast, or slow idle.
Operate Crawler at less-than-normal loads and
speeds for the first 15 minutes.
WARNING
: Lethal Exhaust Gases
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon
monoxide. Avoid inhaling fumes, and never run
the Engine in a closed building or confined area.
NOTE
:
Assembled Crawlers are "run in"
under no load at the factory for 15 minutes to
properly break-in their drive train.
TRAVELING
Hold Brake Lever fully forward, then push
outwardly
, to unlock it from behind its "tab" or
“bolt”. Slowly release pressure on the Lever
allowing it to come back to its rearward position!
Raise all Attachments to their recommended
traveling heights.
To move straight ahead
, simultaneously
push both Right Track Control and Left Track
Control forward.
To move straight to the rear
, simultaneously
pull both Right and Left Track Controls
rearward.
To turn sharply to the right
, push Left Track
Control fully forward...leave Right Tr a c k
Control in neutral.
To turn slowly to the right
, push Left Track
Control fully forward while simultaneously
pushing "partially" forward on Right Tr a c k
Control...the farther you push the Right Track
Control forward, the slower you will turn right.
To turn sharply to the left
, push Right Track
Control fully forward...leave Left Track Control
in neutral.
To turn slowly to the left
, push Right Track
Control fully forward while simultaneously
pushing "partially" forward on the Left Track
Control...the farther you push the Left Track
Control forward, the slower you will turn to the
left.
To counter-rotate Tr a c k s
, (shortest turn
possible), push one Track Control forward
while simultaneously pulling rearward on the
other Track Control. You may counter-rotate
clockwise or counter-clockwise; move in
whichever direction satisfies the job at hand.
Stopping the Crawler
: The Right and Left
Track Controls are of the self-centering
(neutral) type. This allows you to simply
release pressure on both Track Controls to
stop power to the Tracks and come to a
complete stop.
Never
"snap" Track Controls
back into neutral!
