WARNING! Follow the instructions given in this booklet,
the Engines Owners Manual and the training given by your
supervisor for the safe operation of this machine. Failure to
do so can result in personal injury and/or damage to the
machine or property.
The TigerRays have a 20 HP Kawasaki with a 12 volt
battery starter.
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
NEVER TRANSPORT WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING!
A.
TRANSPORT POSITION
To transport the machine it is necessary to tilt the machine
back on the rear wheels so the pad is not in contact with the
floor.
B.
POSITION FOR MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
To perform certain maintenance & cleaning tasks the ma-
chine should be placed in the “tilt back” position and the
handle must be in the shipping (forward) position.
The handle
must be in the forward position to ensure stability in the
“tilt back” position. A second person should aid in the lift
and secure the machine while being serviced.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ENVIRONMENT!
PREPARATION
A.
CHECK THAT THE SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE HAS BEEN OBSERVED.
All machines are equipped with a multi-function maintenance
meter. The functions include the following: hour meter, ser-
vice alert and tachometer. (See Engine Maintenance Meter
Instructions)
B.
CHECK THE ENGINE OIL BEFORE EVERY
OPERATION!
Make sure the machine is level when checking the oil. Al-
ways take 2 readings of the dip stick before adding oil. If the
oil level is below the full mark, add just enough oil to the
engine to bring the oil level up to the full mark.
Never over
fill.
Follow the guidelines in your Engine Owners Manual.
Recommended oil is SAE 10W-30. Check for foreign material
on the dipstick.
C.
PROPERLY FILL AND CHECK YOUR LP TANK AND
ALL LP FUEL LINES FOR LEAKS!
1.
Every tank has been pressure and leak tested. How-
ever,
every time a tank is filled and/or connected to the
machine it should be soap tested.
All LP lines must be
pressurized and every inch of line and connections must
be sprayed. If you find a leak, make the proper repairs
before operating the machine.
NOTE:
The connection
and
disconnection of the LP tank must be done in a well
ventilated area with NO source of ignition within 10 feet
(3 meters) from the point of connection.
2.
Never over fill the LP tank!
The LP tank is de-
signed to hold just 20 pounds of propane. Make sure to
weigh the tank as it is being filled. The gross weight of
a full tank should not exceed 48 pounds. If while oper-
ating the machine you notice frost forming on the LP
lines or the regulator, your tank has been over filled. If
you continue to operate the machine in this condition
damage will occur. The excess propane in the tank must
be removed before normal operations resume. The bleed-
ing of a propane tank should be done in a safe location
outside the building. In some cases the regulator must
defrost before restarting the engine.
D.
CONNECTING THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO THE
LP TANK:
Make sure the couplers are in line and screwed
together hand tight. If this is not done properly, fuel will not
pass through to the regulator. Never complete the connec-
tion of the tank to the
machine by using a wrench. Always
do it by hand. Listen for the rush of fuel to the lock-out
device when you open the tank valve. If you hear this, it
indicates a good connection has been made at the tank.
NEVER CHANGE OR ALTER THE PROPANE CONTROL
EQUIPMENT!
E.
INSTALL A FRESH PAD BEFORE EVERY JOB
If not new, at least clean. To install a fresh pad, tilt the
machine back and adjust the handle forward. Unscrew and
remove the pad-centering ring. Remove the old pad and
center the new pad onto the pad driver. Reinstall the pad-
centering ring.
Never “flip” a pad. Keep the same side down
throughout the life of the pad. Even after a pad is cleaned,
you can tell the down side by the centering ring indentation.
This practice will increase the pad life and help maintain a
properly functioning pad driver. NEVER TILT A MACHINE
ON ITS SIDE!
