The large 10” grey wheels should be removed for the buffing mode, by
removing the axle clips at each end of the axles, then the washers and finally
the wheel assemblies. The axle may be left in place.
REMEMBER:
It may be entirely unnecessary to loosen the tensioner to accomplish the
changeover. Experiment at first, without loosening the tensioner, and see if you can achieve
repositioning the belt with the tensioner activated. You’ll probably find, as most peopl
e do, that it is
no only quite possible, but the changeover is much easier as there is far less to do.
SECTION (6) TROUBLESHOOTING:
(See EnviroGard manual for engine troubleshooting)
When troubles occur,
be sure to check the simple causes
which at first, may seem
too obvious to be considered. For example, a starting problem could be caused by fuel
starvation due to an empty propane cylinder or an unopened service valve. If you don't
check for this, starter burnout could result.
1.
KAWASAKI ENGINE SURGING IDLE
-
To smooth out the engines idle characteristics,
adjustment is provided by an idle screw on the lower left side of the carburetor as viewed
from the operator's position. The screw is bright steel and 1/4" in diameter with a Phillips
head on it. Rotating the screw clockwise will increase the idle speed and this should cure
the "surging idle". IF IT DOES NOT, call our customer service department for assistance.
2.
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION
-
Look for the following possibilities: .
¾
Pad is off center. Remove and reinstall.
¾
Pad Driver is cracked. (Possibly from striking a curb or bolt in the floor) Replace
at once with a new part.
¾
Bearings in Front End Assembly are worn. Place machine on its side where the
muffler is mounted. Grip Pad Driver and move up, down and from side to side to
check for slack in the bearings. If this is the case, then to affect a proper repair,
the bearings should be replaced and possibly the shaft.
3.
ENGINE STARTS AND IDLES, BUT WILL QUIT AS THE THROTTLE IS ADVANCED - It is
possible that the propane tank's service valve is faulty. To check for this, close the valve
completely and then reopen very slowly while you listen for a "click" when the gas begins to
travel through the valve. If you hear this very slight noise, the valve is only partially opening.
This allows enough gas through to start and idle the engine, but not enough for full throttle
operation. As the throttle is increased, allowing more air to enter the intake, the engine will
quit from fuel starvation. Call your dealer or the factory for instructions on where to have the
service valve replaced. Meanwhile, to get by, you can continue to open the service valve
until you don't hear a “click" and then
the engine will run normally. IF IT DOES NOT, call
our customer service department for further assistance.
4.
THE BUFFER SEEMS TO RUN WELL BUT DIES DOWN WHEN THE PAD IS PLACED
ON THE FLOOR OR SOON THEREAFTER
-
Check for the same problem as in #3.
5.
EXCESSIVE NOISE FROM UNDER BUFFER
-
If this problem has developed after use of
the machine from new, then the first place to check is the Tensioner. As a new belt
wears in, it naturally stretches a bit and the tensioner will begin to rattle. Place the buffer on
