ŶManaging gasoline safely

ᵢᵟᵬᵥᵣᵰ

Absolutely do not handle gasoline in the presence of lit cig arettes, open flame, or ot her sources of ignition. Gasoline is an extr em ely flammable liquid and its high volatility means there is a danger of f ire and explosions.

Do not use a type of gasoline other than that descr ibed. There is a danger of fire and explosions.

ᵵᵟᵰᵬᵧᵬ

Store gasoline and oil safely away from sources of flame and places where children can easily reach. Accidents and injury can result.

Please refuel in a place that is well ventilated. As gasoline is a hig hly volatile substance, t here is a danger that you will feel unwell if you operate the machine in a poorly ventilated place.

Do not open the fuel cap while running the engine.

When refueling, be sure to stop the engine and allow it to cool down. T her e is a danger of suffering burns.

㻡

ᵥ

When refueling, be sure not to f ill t he fuel tank over the maximum level. If you do overfill the fuel tank, remove fuel until it sits below the maximum level. Over-fueling can cause fire and other accidents.

After refueling , secur ely close the fuel cap and store the machine in a safe place with no sources of ignition. Ther e is a danger of fire.

If you spill gasoline, move the machine a safe distance away without starting the engine. Starting the machine in close proximity to a fuel spill can result in a fire or other accident . Use a waste cloth to wipe away the spill and dispose of the cloth in accordance with local laws.

Be sure to change your clothes immediately if t hey come int o cont act with gasoline. There is a danger that any gasoline on your clothes could ignite or cause you to feel unwell.

Do not refuel in places such as inside a car or on a truck , they could move unexpectedly. Refuel after placing your fuel cont ainer safely on the ground, away from vehicles. Fuel spills can cause fire and other accidents.

When performing inspection, replacement, or lubr ication of oiled parts, place the machine on a flat, open surface. Switch on t he engine and warm it up to confirm it is work ing properly. Then switch off the engine, allow it to cool down and remove the spark plug cord. After switching off, please wait at least 10 minutes for all parts to cool down sufficiently before you touch the machine.

Immediately after the engine has stopped, the body will be very hot and can cause burns if touched. Also the oil will still be in the engine and transmission so the quantity of oil remaining will not be accurately displayed.

After changing the oil, please dispose of waste oil appropriately.

Transmission oil inspection, replacement and lubrication

Inspection

Inspect around the oil inlet at the lef t side of the transmission, after removing the oil plug If the oil level surface can be seen from there, ther e is a sufficient amount of oil.

Oil plug

Replacement

Place an oil pan under the transmission, then remove the drain plug at the left bottom of the transmission near drive shaft and drain old oil.

Drain plug

Change the gear oil after t he first 20 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter

Lubrication

After reattaching t he drain plug, fill with 3.2 qt ( 3 L ) of gear oil (#90) by pouring through the oil inlet .

Before changing oil, please switch on the eng ine and warm it up. Allow at least 10 min for all parts to cool down after switched off in or der to prevent burns.

Inspection

Perform this inspection bef or e every use, and check oil quantity and quality using the dipstick Make sure the engine oil is always at the maximum level on the level gauge. Inspect with the engine horizontal and do not screw in the dipstick.

Replacement

Remove the oil filler cap and the drain plug. Dr ain all old oil.

Replace engine oil after the f ir s t 5 hour s of operation and roughly every 25 hours thereafter.

Lubrication

Remove the oil filler cap then put in the new engine oil (SAE10W-30) with 0.6qt (0.6L) (Refer to the engine manual )

After the oil has been removed, securely ret u r n t he drain plug to its original position.

Fill with new engine oil from the oil filler. After filling with eng ine oil, secur e ly reat t a ch t he oil inlet plug so that oil does not leak out

2. Note:

The oil may bleed when the oil filler cap and the drain plug has not been t ightened enough.

Cog belt: Size----- HP-2 SB33 x 1

Inspection time:

After the first 2- 3 hour s of operation and then every 30 hours of operation ther eafter

Adjustment

Depress the clutch lever to [ON], and make sure the belt has about 1/4" deflection when it is pressed with 6 lbs force. If the adjuster at t he clut ch cable doesn't allow you to set it within the range, you can also adjust by loosening the engine mounts bolt to move the engine position.

Replacement

After changing or adj ust the belt, please adjust belt holder's position.

When the clutch lever is in [ ON ] position, the gap between the belt and the belt holder is 3/16" (4mm ) on the upper side, and 1/8" (3mm) on the lower side.

Confirming the attachment of the belt af t er replacing

Return the spark plug cord t o it s or iginal position and run the engine for ar ound 2 minutes with the blade clutch lever and drive clutch lever in both the [ON] and [OFF] positions to confirm that the belt is operating normally.

Tine Inspection and Replacement

ᵥ

ᵵᵟᵰᵬᵧᵬ

When inspecting or r eplacing the tines, place the machine on a flat, open ar ea. Always be sure to switch off the engine as there is a danger of injury.

When replacing or r epair ing tines, always have the work performed by someone with the correct tools and experience.

The inspection or replacement of blades should be performed by 2 people. The handlebars should be held firmly to stop the rear of the machine from f alling down. Not taking this precaution can cause injury.

To avoid injury, wear safety gloves when performing inspection or r eplacem ent and wrap the tips of the tines in cloth.

Replace the tines if you detect any abnormalities. If you ignore wear and tear, cracks, and bending, there is a danger that the tines could break and fly out of the m achine, severely injuring the operator or any bystanders.

When replacing t he t ines, be sur e t o also r eplace the nuts and bolts which tighten the tines. This prevents accidents caused by wear and tear on the nuts and bolts. Never use nuts and bolts that are not recommended for this specified purpose.

Stop the engine and move the fuel valve to [ CLOSE] position

and remove the spark plug cap Lift the machine's handlebars up to raise the rotor part

of the machine.

ᵬᵭᵲᵧᵡᵣ

Do not leave the machine in a tilted position, as the fluids may shift and prevent the eng ine from starting properly.

Inspect for any cracks, bending and wear.

4. Replacing Tines

Place the rotor on flat surf ace and check from behind. When each tine's edge has no overlap, it's time to replace.

Tine distributions

Remove the tine setting bolts when replacing tines. Please refer to the picture on t he left, when attaching new tines. Please check the curb directions and position of offset tines. Securely tighten with the tine setting bolts. 䈜The picture shown is the view from behind the machine.

ᵬᵭᵲᵧᵡᵣ

We recomm end pur chasing a replacement set in advance.

Please check the rotating direction as well. When you replace, go from the left t o r ig ht, one by one this will help you complete correctly. If the direction or positon is incorrect, there may beclumping and uneven tilling.
