floor. In this “balanced” position the equipment
can be readily moved from site to site.
A. Tilting the Machine
This is a heavy piece of equipment. Caution
should be used in tilting the machine. This can be
accomplished safely and easily as follows:
1. One man method:
a. Standing behind the machine, place one
foot on the brace at the base of the
propane tank.
b. Place one hand on the handle and the
other on the “U” frame handle support.
c. While pulling and leaning back, lift the
other foot off the floor and extend it
directly behind. This will shift the
balance and naturally tilt the equipment
to transport or full “tilt back” position
without undue strain.
2.Two man method:
Two people side by side perform the above
procedure simultaneously. This is a safer,
more comfortable technique to use until
more experience is gained with the equipment.
B. Position for Maintenance & Cleaning
To perform certain maintenance & cleaning tasks
or to change brushes the machine should be
placed in the full “tilt back” position.
. PREPARAT ON
A. Check that the suggested maintenance
schedule has been observed:
All machines are equipped with a multi-function
maintenance meter. The functions include the
following: hour meter, service alert and tachometer.
(See Engine Maintenance Meter Instructions on p.4).
B. Check the engine oil before every operation:
Make sure the machine is level when checking the
oil. Always take 2 readings of the dipstick before
adding oil. If the oil level is below the full mark,
add just enough oil to the engine to bring the oil
level up to the full mark. Never over fill. Follow
the guidelines in your Engine Owners Manual.
Check for foreign material on the dipstick.
C. Properly fill and check your LPG tank and
all LPG fuel lines for leaks:
1. Every tank has been pressure and leak
tested. owever, every time a tank is filled
and/or connected to the machine it should
be soap tested. All LPG lines must be
pressurized and every inch of line and
connections must be sprayed. If you find a
leak, make the proper repairs before
operating the machine. NOTE: The
connection and disconnection of the LPG
tank must be done in a well ventilated area
with NO source of ignition within 10 feet (3
meters) from the point of connection.
2. Never over fill the LPG tank: The LPG
tank is designed to hold just 20 pounds of
propane. Make sure to weigh the tank as it
is being filled. The gross weight of a full
tank should not exceed 48 pounds. If while
operating the machine, you notice frost
forming on the LPG lines or the regulator,
your tank has been over filled. If you
continue to operate the machine in this
condition, damage will occur. The excess
propane in the tank must be removed
before normal operations resume. The
bleeding of a propane tank should be done
in a safe location outside the building. In
some cases the regulator must defrost
before restarting the engine.
D. Connecting the high pressure hose to the
LPG Tank:
Make sure the couplers are in line and screwed
together hand tight. If this is not done properly,
fuel will not pass through to the regulator. Never
complete the connection of the tanks to the
machine by using a wrench. Always do it by
hand. Listen for the rush of fuel to the lock-out
device when you open the tank valve. If you
hear this, it indicates a good connection has
been made at the tank.
E. nstall fresh pads or brushes before every
job:
To install a fresh pad, set the machine down in
the rear. Unscrew and remove the pad-centering
ring. Remove the old pad and center the new
pad onto the pad driver. Reinstall the pad-
centering ring. Never “flip” a pad. Keep the
same side down throughout the life of the pad.
Even after a pad is cleaned, you can tell the

lube and change the oil at 25 hour intervals. The
service alert only flashes during operation and it
warns you to change the oil for only two hours.
After the two hours is reached, the alert will
automatically reset to the next 25 hour interval.
Therefore, it is recommended that a separate
maintenance log be kept to track oil changes.
Remember that being safe is a full-time, every
day job. Follow all information posted on the
machine and the LPG tank.
Never allow anyone to operate this machine
who has not read or cannot understand the
given instructions.
C. Troubleshooting the electrical system
1. Check all wire connections for obvious
problems. Remove LPG tank, then remove
battery box cover. Check all connections
visibly and physically. If any “loose”,
damaged or unconnected wires are
noticed, replace or repair as needed.
2. Check the battery posts and wires. Always
wear a face shield, safety glasses and
protective clothing when working around
a battery! The gases can be explosive and
the acid is highly corrosive to metals, cloth
and ALL UMAN TISSUE (skin, eyes, etc.)
If the battery post(s) are corroded, remove
the wires and clean posts and wires.
Applying some axle grease on the posts of
the battery after they are cleaned will slow
down the battery corrosion process. If
nothing obvious is noted, a more detailed
investigation is warranted. Before any
such troubleshooting begins, the following
things should be done:
3. Replace propane LPG tank with one from
a machine that runs.
4. Charge the battery or provide an absolute
source of 12 volt DC power capable of 50
amperes total output. (A pair of good
jumper cables from your car or truck
battery will suffice.) Equip yourself with an
inexpensive 12 volt test light.
5. If the trouble seems to be in the electrical
control equipment, you may wish to
disconnect the starter from the system so
as to check the system without spinning
the engine.
6. Battery rundown. A common problem is
letting the battery run down. What usually
happens is that it takes the crew a few jobs to
get used to the whole system, so the machine
is stopped and started quite often. Key left in
on position, when engine is turned off, will
result in battery running down—dying.
D. Troubleshooting Main Drive Belts
If the engine runs, but the drive unit will not engage,
this is usually related to the main drive brush belt or
belt tension spring. Without removing the drive unit
you can check and fix the following:
1. Remove the four 3/8" bolts holding the belt
cover to the body. Remove the (1) 3/8" bolt
holding the muffler bracket to the belt cover.
Check if belt tension spring is attached to the
idler spring mount bolt on the body.
2. Check to see if belts have come off of input
pulley or centrifugal clutch. If so, install belts
back on the pulley. Note: If belts come off
again they are probably worn or stretched
and need replacement.
3. To replace engine drive belts:
Loosen the (3) bolts on the right hand side
of the upper deck approximately 4 to 5 turns.
Be sure at least half of the bolt threads
remain engaged. Place machine in the tilt-
back position. Remove old or worn belts and
replace them with the new ones. Remove
one end of the tension spring to aid in
installation of new belts. Check for wear on
the springs and their catches.
4. Re-attach tension spring to mount bolt and
tighten (3) 1/2" bolts. Slide the belt cover into
place and start (4) 3/8" bolts into belt cover
(hand tighten only). Start (1) 3/8" bolt into
muffler bracket and belt cover, then tighten
all (5) 3/8" bolts.
5. To change the brush drive belt: Remove
three (3) bolts on the right hand side of
upper deck (use a 3/4" wrench). Slowly raise
front of machine off the floor. Remove Input
Boom Pulley and Boom Arm from Brush
Drive by using the two 3/4" wrenches—
sliding them into the slots in the boom pulley
shaft to unscrew the pulley from the shaft.
Remove six (6) bolts from bottom side of
Brush Drive and split Brush Drive Top Pan
and Brush Drive Plate. Remove worn belt
and replace. It is a good idea at this time to
check the Tension Spring, bearings and idler
for damage and replace them if necessary.
Engine Oil
Check the engine oil daily before starting the
engine otherwise shortage of the engine oil may
cause serious damage to the engine such as
seizure.
• Place the engine on a level surface. Clean the
area around the oil gauge before removing it.
• Remove the oil gauge and wipe it with a clean
cloth.
• Pour the oil slowly to “FULL” mark on the oil

lube and change the oil at 25 hour intervals. The
service alert only flashes during operation and it
warns you to change the oil for only two hours.
After the two hours is reached, the alert will
automatically reset to the next 25 hour interval.
Therefore, it is recommended that a separate
maintenance log be kept to track oil changes.
Remember that being safe is a full-time, every
day job. Follow all information posted on the
machine and the LPG tank.
Never allow anyone to operate this machine
who has not read or cannot understand the
given instructions.
C. Troubleshooting the electrical system
1. Check all wire connections for obvious
problems. Remove LPG tank, then remove
battery box cover. Check all connections
visibly and physically. If any “loose”,
damaged or unconnected wires are
noticed, replace or repair as needed.
2. Check the battery posts and wires. Always
wear a face shield, safety glasses and
protective clothing when working around
a battery! The gases can be explosive and
the acid is highly corrosive to metals, cloth
and ALL UMAN TISSUE (skin, eyes, etc.)
If the battery post(s) are corroded, remove
the wires and clean posts and wires.
Applying some axle grease on the posts of
the battery after they are cleaned will slow
down the battery corrosion process. If
nothing obvious is noted, a more detailed
investigation is warranted. Before any
such troubleshooting begins, the following
things should be done:
3. Replace propane LPG tank with one from
a machine that runs.
4. Charge the battery or provide an absolute
source of 12 volt DC power capable of 50
amperes total output. (A pair of good
jumper cables from your car or truck
battery will suffice.) Equip yourself with an
inexpensive 12 volt test light.
5. If the trouble seems to be in the electrical
control equipment, you may wish to
disconnect the starter from the system so
as to check the system without spinning
the engine.
6. Battery rundown. A common problem is
letting the battery run down. What usually
happens is that it takes the crew a few jobs to
get used to the whole system, so the machine
is stopped and started quite often. Key left in
on position, when engine is turned off, will
result in battery running down—dying.
D. Troubleshooting Main Drive Belts
If the engine runs, but the drive unit will not engage,
this is usually related to the main drive brush belt or
belt tension spring. Without removing the drive unit
you can check and fix the following:
1. Remove the four 3/8" bolts holding the belt
cover to the body. Remove the (1) 3/8" bolt
holding the muffler bracket to the belt cover.
Check if belt tension spring is attached to the
idler spring mount bolt on the body.
2. Check to see if belts have come off of input
pulley or centrifugal clutch. If so, install belts
back on the pulley. Note: If belts come off
again they are probably worn or stretched
and need replacement.
3. To replace engine drive belts:
Loosen the (3) bolts on the right hand side
of the upper deck approximately 4 to 5 turns.
Be sure at least half of the bolt threads
remain engaged. Place machine in the tilt-
back position. Remove old or worn belts and
replace them with the new ones. Remove
one end of the tension spring to aid in
installation of new belts. Check for wear on
the springs and their catches.
4. Re-attach tension spring to mount bolt and
tighten (3) 1/2" bolts. Slide the belt cover into
place and start (4) 3/8" bolts into belt cover
(hand tighten only). Start (1) 3/8" bolt into
muffler bracket and belt cover, then tighten
all (5) 3/8" bolts.
5. To change the brush drive belt: Remove
three (3) bolts on the right hand side of
upper deck (use a 3/4" wrench). Slowly raise
front of machine off the floor. Remove Input
Boom Pulley and Boom Arm from Brush
Drive by using the two 3/4" wrenches—
sliding them into the slots in the boom pulley
shaft to unscrew the pulley from the shaft.
Remove six (6) bolts from bottom side of
Brush Drive and split Brush Drive Top Pan
and Brush Drive Plate. Remove worn belt
and replace. It is a good idea at this time to
check the Tension Spring, bearings and idler
for damage and replace them if necessary.
Engine Oil
Check the engine oil daily before starting the
engine otherwise shortage of the engine oil may
cause serious damage to the engine such as
seizure.
• Place the engine on a level surface. Clean the
area around the oil gauge before removing it.
• Remove the oil gauge and wipe it with a clean
cloth.
• Pour the oil slowly to “FULL” mark on the oil

floor. In this “balanced” position the equipment
can be readily moved from site to site.
A. Tilting the Machine
This is a heavy piece of equipment. Caution
should be used in tilting the machine. This can be
accomplished safely and easily as follows:
1. One man method:
a. Standing behind the machine, place one
foot on the brace at the base of the
propane tank.
b. Place one hand on the handle and the
other on the “U” frame handle support.
c. While pulling and leaning back, lift the
other foot off the floor and extend it
directly behind. This will shift the
balance and naturally tilt the equipment
to transport or full “tilt back” position
without undue strain.
2.Two man method:
Two people side by side perform the above
procedure simultaneously. This is a safer,
more comfortable technique to use until
more experience is gained with the equipment.
B. Position for Maintenance & Cleaning
To perform certain maintenance & cleaning tasks
or to change brushes the machine should be
placed in the full “tilt back” position.
. PREPARAT ON
A. Check that the suggested maintenance
schedule has been observed:
All machines are equipped with a multi-function
maintenance meter. The functions include the
following: hour meter, service alert and tachometer.
(See Engine Maintenance Meter Instructions on p.4).
B. Check the engine oil before every operation:
Make sure the machine is level when checking the
oil. Always take 2 readings of the dipstick before
adding oil. If the oil level is below the full mark,
add just enough oil to the engine to bring the oil
level up to the full mark. Never over fill. Follow
the guidelines in your Engine Owners Manual.
Check for foreign material on the dipstick.
C. Properly fill and check your LPG tank and
all LPG fuel lines for leaks:
1. Every tank has been pressure and leak
tested. owever, every time a tank is filled
and/or connected to the machine it should
be soap tested. All LPG lines must be
pressurized and every inch of line and
connections must be sprayed. If you find a
leak, make the proper repairs before
operating the machine. NOTE: The
connection and disconnection of the LPG
tank must be done in a well ventilated area
with NO source of ignition within 10 feet (3
meters) from the point of connection.
2. Never over fill the LPG tank: The LPG
tank is designed to hold just 20 pounds of
propane. Make sure to weigh the tank as it
is being filled. The gross weight of a full
tank should not exceed 48 pounds. If while
operating the machine, you notice frost
forming on the LPG lines or the regulator,
your tank has been over filled. If you
continue to operate the machine in this
condition, damage will occur. The excess
propane in the tank must be removed
before normal operations resume. The
bleeding of a propane tank should be done
in a safe location outside the building. In
some cases the regulator must defrost
before restarting the engine.
D. Connecting the high pressure hose to the
LPG Tank:
Make sure the couplers are in line and screwed
together hand tight. If this is not done properly,
fuel will not pass through to the regulator. Never
complete the connection of the tanks to the
machine by using a wrench. Always do it by
hand. Listen for the rush of fuel to the lock-out
device when you open the tank valve. If you
hear this, it indicates a good connection has
been made at the tank.
E. nstall fresh pads or brushes before every
job:
To install a fresh pad, set the machine down in
the rear. Unscrew and remove the pad-centering
ring. Remove the old pad and center the new
pad onto the pad driver. Reinstall the pad-
centering ring. Never “flip” a pad. Keep the
same side down throughout the life of the pad.
Even after a pad is cleaned, you can tell the
