SECTION 1 OPERATION

1.1 Starting The Engine

Engine Start

DANGER! Always be sure the blade is disengaged and all

persons are out of the path of the blade before starting the

engine. Failure to do so will result in serious injury.

DANGER! Operate your engine/machine only in well venti-

lated areas. The exhaust gases of your engine can cause

nausea, delirium and potentially death unless adequate

ventilation is present.

DANGER! Never operate an engine with a fuel or oil leak.

The leaking fuel or oil could potentially come in contact with

hot surfaces and ignite into flames.

WARNING! Do not operate engine without proper and

operational spark arrester/muffler. Sparks emitted from the

engine exhaust could ignite surrounding materials, causing

serious injury or death.

1. Close the engine choke by moving the choke lever to the start position.

2. Turn the key switch to the START position and release. Release the key switch to the

RUN position after the engine starts.

3. When the engine starts, slowly open the choke all the way by moving the choke lever to

the off position.

Engine Shutoff

1. Disengage the clutch handle to stop the blade if necessary.

2. Let the engine run for 15 seconds with no load, then turn the key switch to the OFF posi-

tion.

SECTION 2 MAINTENANCE

Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for maintenance intervals and procedures unless oth-

erwise instructed in this manual. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for dusty

conditions.

IMPORTANT! This manual only provides information about

additional procedures or procedures to be performed at dif-

ferent time intervals than found in the manufacturer's manu-

als. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for complete

maintenance instructions.

2.1 Safety

Use caution when performing maintenance or service to the engine.

DANGER! Always be aware of and take proper protective

measures against rotating shafts, pulleys, fans, etc. Always

stay a safe distance from rotating members and make sure

that loose clothing or long hair does not engage rotating

members resulting in possible injury.

DANGER! Engine components can become very hot during

operation. Avoid contact with any part of a hot engine. The

exhaust components of your engine are especially hot dur-

ing and following operation. Contact with hot engine com-

ponents can cause serious burns. Therefore, never touch

or perform service functions on a hot engine. Allow the

engine to cool sufficiently before beginning any service

function.

WARNING! Remove the blade before performing any

engine service. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

WARNING! Always wear proper and necessary safety

equipment when performing service functions. Proper

safety equipment includes eye protection, breathing protec-

tion, hand protection and foot protection.

This symbol identifies the interval (hours of operation) at which each maintenance pro-

cedure should be performed. "AR" signifies maintenance procedures which should be

performed as required.

2.5 Battery

Check the battery electrolyte level every 50 hours of operation. See manufacturer’s man-

ual for instructions.

DANGER! Batteries expel explosive gases. Keep sparks,

flames, burning cigarettes, or other ignition sources away at

all times. Always wear safety goggles and a face shield

when working near batteries. Failure to do so will cause

serious injury.1

WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accesso-

ries contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to

the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive

harm. Wash hands after handling.

Maintenance

RPM Adjustments

2-6 G15E97doc013105 Maintenance

2.6 RPM Adjustments

WARNING! Remove the blade before performing any

engine service. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

Check the RPM with a tachometer after the first 20 hours of operation and every 200

hours thereafter.

See Table 2-1.

Before checking the RPM, make sure belt and brake strap tensions are correct (See Saw-

mill Maintenance). Also check oil, fuel, and coolant levels.

Make sure the throttle cable does not affect the engine RPM when the clutch handle is

disengaged. Make sure the cable is not bent or kinked.

1. Start the engine to measure the low-end RPM.

2. Refer to the engine manual to adjust the low-end RPM.

3. Engage the clutch handle to throttle the engine and measure the high-end RPM. The

high-end RPM is factory-set at 3750. Readjust the throttle cable if necessary to increase

or reduce the high-end engine speed.

The engine should start to throttle as soon as you start moving the clutch handle down. If

the engine dies instead, restart the engine and adjust the throttle linkage as far as possi-

ble without affecting low-end RPM. With the engine idling and the clutch disengaged,

loosen the cable bolt and pull the throttle cable up to a point just below where it affects the

low-end RPM. Retighten the cable bolt. NOTE: A properly adjusted throttle will extend the

cable spring 1/4" to 3/8" (6.4 - 9.5 mm) when running and have a slight amount of slack in

the cable when idling.

See Figure 2-1.
