Regular maintenance and lubrication will help keep your machine
in perfect working condition and ensure years of trouble free use.
Turn off engine and disengage all levers. Engine must be cool.
Inspect the general condition of the unit. Check for loose screws,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
Remove all debris and other materials that may have accumulated
to the brush. Clean after each use. Then use a premium quality
lightweight machine oil to lubricate all moving parts.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
ADJUSTING CLUTCH
MAInTEnAnCE
When the clutch begins to show wear, it will appear
thru the handle reach becoming wider. Making it more
difficult to reach. Follow these steps to return the
clutch lever back to its original position.
Never use a “pressure washer” to clean your unit.
Water can penetrate tight areas of the machine and
its transmission case and cause damage to spindles,
gears, bearings, or the engine. The use of pressure
washers will result in shortened life and reduce
serviceability.
