E. To Start the 3100 LP Propane
Engine
1. A 33 lb. special combination vertical-
horizontal propane cylinder liquid withdrawal
Model No. TU33L, must be used on this
machine fitted with a Rego #7141 male fitting.
The Terrco
®
3100LP operates on the liquid
principle.
2. When installing tanks, the bottom guide
hole near the top of the cylinder must drop over
the locating pin on the cylinder bracket of the
handle. Connect quick coupler to the cylinder.
DO NOT USE A WRENCH - only hand tight-
en.
3. You are now ready to open main gas
valve in fuel tank. CAUTION - “SLOWLY”
open main gas valve in the fuel tank. An abrupt
full opening of the valve will induce dirt from
within the tank to enter the fuel line. Too rapid
an opening can also cause frost to form on the
fuel filter, main valve, and inlet line. CHECK
FOR GAS LEAKS WITH SOAP SUDS
SOLUTION. THERE MUST BE NO LEAK.
4. Check oil level of crankcase.
5. Make certain clutch is disengaged.
6. Place weights in the “up” position.
7. Attach battery cables from starter to the
battery.
8. Pull throttle knob a quarter to half way
out.
9. Pull out ignition switch to “on” position
and press rubber start button to start.
10. Allow engine to warm up approximately
10 minutes.
11. After a few minutes of warm-up and
with weights in the upper weight baskets, pull
throttle lever out to full open position, apply
weight on the handle to relieve pressure on
stones and engage clutch (pull clutch handle
towards you).
NOTE: We recommend that for the first eight
hours the machine be operated with the weights
in the upper weight baskets to allow engine to
break in without undue load factor.
12. After the initial eight hour engine break
in period, we suggest that on all future opera-
tions, that you make your first “rough” grind
operation with the weights in the upper weight
baskets. You can then lower the weights to the
lower weight baskets for the remaining portion
of the rough grinding operation.
13. There may be excessive oil consumption
during the first 10 days of operation during the
break in period. If oil consumption is over 1
quart per day, contact you local AUTHORIZED
WISCONSIN repair station.
14. CAUTION Do not operate Terrco
