–Always check for and remove tools used during assembly of the machine. Attached tools may be flung from the engine when it is started, causing serious injury.

–Make sure that the power sprayer is clean and dry and test the STOP switch to ensure that it is functioning properly.

–Stop the engine immediately if experiencing engine problems.

–When operating the power sprayer, take extra care not to inhale exhaust fumes.

–Exhaust fumes are poisonous. Never operate the machine in an enclosed room or an area with insufficient ventilation (risk of suffocation and gas poisoning).

–Do not operate the power sprayer continuously for longer than one hour, and observe a rest time of at least 30 minutes between each working hour.

–Stop the engine when resting or when the power sprayer is left unattended. To protect other people and the power sprayer from damage, place the machine in a safe location and make sure that no combustible material is nearby. Never place a hot power sprayer onto dry grass or combustible material. Placing the machine on dry grass or near combustible material is extremely dangerous and may result in a fire.

BEFORE START OF OPERATION

Inspection and Refill of Engine Oil

–Perform the following procedure, with the engine cooled down.

–While keeping the engine level, remove the oil gauge, and confirm that the oil is filled within the upper and lower limit marks.

When the oil is in short in such a way that the oil gauge touches the oil only by its tip, in particular with the oil gauge remaining inserted in the crankcase without screwing-in (Fig. 1), refill new oil near the port (Fig. 2).

–For reference, the oil refill time is about 10h (10 times or 10 tanks of oil refill).

–If the oil changes in color or mixes with dirt, replace it with new one. (For the interval and method of replacement, refer to P 16)

Recommended oil: SAE 10W-30 oil of API Classification, Class SF or higher (4-stroke engine for automobile)

Oil volume: Approx. 0.08 L

Note: If the engine is not kept upright, oil may go into around the engine, and may be refilled excessively.

If the oil is filled above the limit, the oil may be contaminated or may catch fire with white.

Point 1 in Replacement of Oil “Oil Gauge”

–Remove dust or dirt near the oil refill port, and detach the oil gauge.

–Keep the detached oil gauge free of sand or dust. Otherwise, any sand or dust adhering to the oil gauge may cause irregular oil circulation or wear on the engine parts, which will result in troubles.

–As an example to keep the oil gauge clean, it is recommended to insert the oil gauge on its knob side into the engine cover, as shown in Fig.3.

Upper limit

(Edge of oil refill port)

If oil adheres around this tip, refill new oil.

Fig.1

Fig.2

Oil gauge

Fig.3

1) Keep the engine level, and detach the oil gauge.

2)Fill oil up to the edge of the oil refill port. (Refer to Fig.2 of the preceding page).

Feed oil with the lubricant refill container.

3)Securely tighten the oil gauge. Insufficient tightening may cause oil leakage.

Point 2 in Replacement of Oil: “If oil spills out”

–If oil spills out between the fuel tank and engine main unit, the oil is sucked into through the cooling air intake port, which will contaminate the engine. Be sure to wipe out spilt oil before start of operation.

REFUELING

Handling of Fuel

It is necessary to handle fuel with utmost care. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refueling must be performed in a sufficiently ventilated room or in the open air. Never inhale fuel vapor, and keep fuel away from you. If you touch fuel repeatedly or for a long time, the skin becomes dry, which may cause skin disease or allergy. If fuel enters into the eye, clean the eye with fresh water. If your eye remains still irritated, consult your doctor.

Storage Period of Fuel

Fuel should be used up within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated shade. If a special container is not used or if the container is not covered, fuel may deteriorate in one day.

STORAGE OF MACHINE AND REFILL TANK

–Keep the machine and tank at a cool place free from direct sunshine.

–Never keep the fuel in the cabin or trunk.

Fuel

The engine is a four-stroke engine. Be sure to use an automobile gasoline (regular gasoline or premium gasoline).

Points for Fuel

–Never use a gasoline mixture which contains engine oil. Otherwise, it will cause excessive carbon accumulation or mechanical troubles.

–Use of deteriorated oil will cause irregular startup.

Refueling

WARNING: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Gasoline used: Automobile gasoline (unleaded gasoline)

–Loosen the tank cap a little so that there will be no difference in atmospheric pressure.

–Detach the tank cap, and refuel, discharging air by tilting the fuel tank so that the refuel port will be oriented upward. (Never refill fuel full to the oil refill port.)

–Wipe well the periphery of the tank cap to prevent foreign matter from entering into the fuel tank.

–After refueling, securely tighten the tank cap.

•If there is any flaw or damage on the tank cap, replace it.

•The tank cap is consumable, and therefore should be renewed every two to three years.

MIXING AGURICULTUAL CHEMICALS

1)Mixing aguricultual chemicals

1.Aguricultual chemicals are toxic. When working with aguricultual chemicals, strictly follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer at all times.

2.Always use the provided strainer when pouring aguricultual chemicals into the chemical tank.

3.Firmly tighten the chemical tank cap to prevent leaks.

4.If chemicals are to be mixed inside the chemical tank, alwys add water before other sguricultual chemicals.

CAUTION:

•Always handle agricultural chemicals with the utmost care. Should your skin come into contact with agricultural chemicals by accident, immediately rinse the affected area with large amounts of water.

2)Using a different type of chemical agent

1.Take extra care to thoroughly rinse the sprayer tank, pump and nozzle before adding different chemical agents to the sprayer tank. Mixing the residues of previously used agricultural chemicals with other chemical agents may cause toxin-induced diseases.

STARTING THE ENGINE

WARNING

•Never attempt engine start in a place where the fuel has been supplied. When starting the engine, keep a distance of at least 3m.

-Otherwise, it will may cause ignition or fire.

•Exhaust gas from the engine has toxic consequences. Do not operate the engine in a poorly-ventilated place. Such as in a tunnel, building, etc.

-Operating the engine in the poorly-ventilated place may cause poisoning by exhaust gas.

•In case of derection of any abnormality sound, odor, vibration after start, stop the engine immediately and carry out inspection.

-If the engine is operated without attending such abnomality, an accident may occur.

•Confirm that the engine stops when the stop switch is set to “O” position.

1)Before starting the engine, always confirm that the chemical tank contains fluid.
