BEF275-1
Operating Manual
PETROL ENGINE
This manual should be read in conjunction with the Owners Manual of the petrol engine. The
engine is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to the instructions.
Read and understand the Owners Manual before operating the engine. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Note: Avoid tipping the BEF275 backwards, when fitted with the Honda
GX340 engine, for longer than a minute. The engine oil can run into the cylinder head
causing the piston to hydraulically seize. In the event of a hydraulic seizure never try to
force the engine to turn over. Remove the spark plug and slowly turn the engine over by
hand. Ensure the ignition and fuel are turned "off". If this method is unsuccessful then the
engine should be returned to the manufacturer.
DUST CONTROL
To remove dust, connect an industrial dust collector or vacuum to the 50mm port at the rear of the
machine. We recommend the SPE VAC316 for almost 100% dust control. In the absence of a
dust control unit it is acceptable to spray water onto the surface or to feed water down the vacuum
port. Cutter drum assembly life is increased by around 10% when operating the machine in this
way.
