INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
This manual will help you get the most from your American-Lincoln™ - Alto sweeper / scrubber. Read it
thoroughly before operating the machine.
P ARTS AND SERVICE
Repairs, when required, should be performed by your Authorized American-Lincoln™ - Alto Service Center,
who employs factory trained service personnel, and maintains an inventory of American-Lincoln™ - Alto
original replacement parts and accessories.
Call the AMERICAN-LINCOLN / ALTO INDUSTRIAL DEALER named below for repairs or service. Please
specify the Model and Serial Number when discussing your machine.
(Dealer, affi x service sticker here.)
NAMEPLATE

MACHINE OPERATION
FIGURE 1
YOUR 7765/7760 MACHINE HAS BEEN SHIPPED COMPLETE, BUT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE WITHOUT FOLLOWING
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION
1. Connect and tighten battery cables.
2. Fill the tank with REGULAR GRADE unleaded gasoline; Diesel fuel if equipped with diesel engine.
WARNING
Never fi ll tank while engine is running. Always be sure fuel container and sweeper are
electrically connected before pouring fuel. This can easily be done by permanently attaching one end of an insulated wire to
the container with battery clip on the opposite end.
3. Check engine crankcase oil level. Although properly lubricated at factory, check before starting engine. No special brand oil is
used. Recommended number of operating hours before the initial oil change is the same as normal. See Maintenance.
4. Check radiator coolant level. Permanent type antifreeze is added at the factory to provide protection to approximately -35° F (37°
C). To retain this protection level, always mix 1 part water to 1 part antifreeze.
5. Check oil level in the hydraulic reservoir located at center of machine beside the engine. Oil fi ll level should be two (2) inches (5
cm.) below fi ller neck assembly. If oil is required, add HYDRAULIC FLUID ONLY, automatic transmission fl uid FORD type “F”. After
the fi rst 50 operating hours, service must be performed on your engine to insure future high performance and trouble-free operation.
See Maintenance.
