C. BREAK-IN AND OPERATION
1. Make certain you thoroughly understand all of the
safety precautions before you attempt to operate
this machine.
2. CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL.
Do not screw in oil dipstick to oil filler neck to check
oil level. See Engine Manual. Fill to the proper
level with SAE 10W-30 engine oil. Tighten oil
gauge to filler neck when done.
3. MOVE THE MACHINE OUTDOORS
Check the engine gasoline level. When filling the
tank, stop when the gasoline reaches one inch
from the top. This space must be left for expansion.
Use fresh, clean, unleaded, regular gasoline.
B. INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Check the drive wheel tire pressures. Drive wheels
should be inflated to 15 psi. Front wheels are foam-
filled and do not need to be inflated.
3. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
4.
Lubricate all fittings listed in the maintenance
section.
5. Follow start procedure in Break-In and Operation
Section Step 5.
6. Push freewheel rod in and disengage parking
brake. Ensure that the ground speed control
levers are in the neutral position. The machine
should stand still while the engine is running. If
the machine starts to creep forward or to the rear
in this situation, then the forward or rear speed
control cable must be adjusted. Locate the cable
nuts underneath the control panel shown in
Figure 6.
7. Loosen the nut on the cable and adjust until the
drive wheel stops moving. Moving the cable
towards the rear of the machine decreases speed,
while moving cable to the front of machine
increases speed. Re-tighten nut.
