ASSEMBLY
1. Check for any damage that may have occurred
during shipment. Advise factory immediately if
you see any damage. Remove the unit from the
crate by removing the top boards, then the
boards at the ends of the crate. Remove the tie
down straps and then remove any shipping
cartons.
2. Tilt the seat forward to access the transaxle
release lever. (You may have to move the
steering column forward to tilt the seat forward).
Pull the lever towards the rear of the machine
and over in the slot (Picture 1).
3. Release parking brake if applied. You should be
able to roll the machine out of the crate by
pushing on the rear bumper. DO NOT STAND IN
FRONT OF THE MACHINE WHILE ROLLING OUT OF
CRATE.
4. The NewRider™5000 is shipped without the
front bumper/spray head support attached. Align
the two holes in the bumper bracket with the
two holes in the frame. (The lifting lever/pedal
should be on the top side of the bumper and on
the right hand side as you face the machine).
5. Insert the two ½” x 3-1/3” long bolts in the holes
from the front. Place one flat washer, one lock
washer and one hex nut on each bolt and tighten.
6. Cut the tie that secures the lift lever lock spring to
the machine. Hook the bottom of the spring in the
loop on bottom of the bumper bracket.
7. Connect battery. Tilt seat forward and connect the
ground cable to the negative side of the battery.
8. Unpack spray head caster, spray gun mounting
bracket, spray gun and paint hose.
9. Press on foot release for the spray head (lever on
the left side of the steering column) to lower the
spray head support tube Mount the spray head
caster assembly by sliding the caster arm onto the
spray head support tube and tighten bolts.
10. The caster wheel may be adjusted to the left or
right so that the rear wheels will clear the striped
line when turning.
11. Slide the spray gun mounting bracket over the
upright on spray head support tube and tighten
bolt. Adjusting the spray gun mounting bracket up
or down will adjust the spray width (Picture 3).
12. Place the spray gun in the holder without the hose
attached and secure with the clamp (Picture 4).
13. The spray gun may have to be moved forward or
backward in the clamp so that there is
approximately 1/8” of space between the trigger
and the lifting bar. This should also leave enough
room to push the trigger lock sideways.
14. If the trigger lock will not move, release the gun
clamp and slide gun forward or backward until you
can push the trigger lock. NOTE: To release trigger
lock push the lock in from the right side (inside) of
the gun.

ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
15. Attach one end of the spray hose to the pump
outlet with a 3/4” wrench and the other end to
the spray gun. To secure the hose on the spray
gun you will need a 3/4” and a 9/16” wrench as it
has a swivel fitting.
16. Loop the additional hose over the hanger on the
left side of the spray tank. Make sure hose does
not contact the tire. Route the hose through the
snap link and around post at corner of left
fender.
17. Always check the oil level in the engine before
starting (SAE 10W30).
18. Make sure the static chain is contacting the
ground (on bottom side of transaxle).
DRIVING OPERATIONS
1. Before starting, set the brake with the hand lever
nearest the seat.
2. Go to rear of machine and turn the #7 fuel lever
on engine to OPEN position (move to the right
towards paint tank)).
WARNING: Any time engine is off for extended
periods, shut off the fuel lever on the engine. If
the fuel lever is left on, gas can drain into engine
oil sump. If you check the oil and oil pours out of
the sump, STOP!! And call Factory. There are
several steps to take before you can start the
engine without damage.
3. Pull up on choke lever.
4. Place throttle lever in FAST position.
5. Start engine, when warm or stumbling, move
choke lever to OFF position.
6. Set throttle at to approximately ¾ open (where
engine runs smoothly) Engine does not need to
run at full speed to operate the spray pump.
7. Release the parking brake and press on the top
of the right hand foot pedal to move forward.
8. Pushing the base of the pedal will move the
machine in reverse.

brake, exit machine and lift seat. Make sure the
transaxle release lever is in forward position. Enter
the machine and release the parking brake. It
should now move.
10. To travel long distances when not spraying, or to
load the machine onto a trailer, lift the spray head
using the foot lever on the left hand side of the
steering column. The spray head will lock in
position when fully lifted. This also locks the spray
gun so that it may not be activated when the spray
head is lifted.
11. When loading on a trailer approach the ramp
slowly to assure the gun will clear the ramp. You
may have to raise the gun or possibly remove it if
the ramp is to steep.
NOTE: TOWING if unit becomes disabled: Parking
Brake must be released and Trans Release Lever moved
to Disengaged Position, Do Not Exceed 2 mph. Towing
distance should not exceed 500 feet. Unit should be
trailer if greater distance is required.

TRANSAXLE SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Fluid & Filter change
This transaxle is designed with an external filter for ease of maintenance. To ensure constant fluid quality levels and
longer life, an initial oil and filter change at 75-100 hours, then every 400 hours thereafter is recommended.
The following procedure can be performed with the transaxle installed in the vehicle, and the vehicle on level
ground. Apply the bypass valve and lock the vehicle parking brake.
1. Remove the three 1/4” filter guard screws and filter guard. Clean any loose debris from around the perimeter of
the filter. See filter and filter guard removal Page 15 of this manual.
2. Place an oil drain pan (12” or more diameter and 8 qt. capacity is optimal) beneath the oil filter. Remove the oil
filter from the transaxle.
3. After the oil has drained, wipe the filter base surface off and apply a film of new oil to the gasket of the new
replacement filter (Newstripe part number 10003778/Hydro-Gear part number 52114).
4. Install the new filter by hand, turn 3/4 to one full turn after the filter gasket contacts the filter base surface.
5. Re-install the filter guard with three 1/4”screws (Snug, do not over tighten).
6. Drain old oil filters of all free flowing oil prior to disposal. Place used oil in appropriate containers and deliver to an
approved recycling collection facility.
7. Remove the oil level check port plug from the transaxle prior to filling with oil. This will allow the transaxle to vent
during oil fill.
9. Fill with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 15W50 Motor Oil ONLY through the reservoir bottle under the seat until
oil just appears at the bottom of the oil level check port. Install the oil level check port plug into transaxle. Snug, do
not over tighten.
10. Top off the reservoir with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 15W50 Motor Oil ONLY to the “FULL COLD” mark
11. Proceed to the purge procedure.
12. Top off the reservoir with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 15W50 Motor Oil ONLY to the “FULL COLD” mark.
**Warning: Use ONLY Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 15W50 Motor Oil and Newstripe Filter Part
Number 10003778 in the transaxle of this machine.
Failure to use the correct filter and oil will cause damage to the transaxle and void the warranty

TRANSAXLE SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)
External Maintenance
1. Check oil level in reservoir under seat daily.
2. Inspect the vehicle drive belt, idler pulleys, and idler springs. Insure that no belt slippage can occur.
Slippage can cause low input speed to the transaxle.
3. Inspect the vehicle control linkage to the directional control arm on the transaxle. Also insure that the
control arm is securely fastened to the trunnion arm of the transaxle.
4. Inspect the bypass mechanism on the transaxle and the vehicle linkage to insure that both actuate
and release fully.
Purging
Due to the effects air has on efficiency in hydrostatic drive applications, it is critical that it is purged from
the system.
Air creates inefficiency because its compression and expansion rate is higher than that of the oil
approved for use in hydrostatic drive systems. These purge procedures should be implemented any time
a hydrostatic system has been opened to facilitate maintenance or the oil has been changed. The
resulting symptoms in hydrostatic systems may be:
1. Noisy operation.
2. Lack of power or drive after short term operation.
3. High operation temperature and excessive expansion of oil. Before starting, make sure the transaxle is
at the proper oil level. If it is not, fill to the specifications outlined in this manual.
Purging Procedures
The following procedures are best performed with the vehicle drive wheels off the ground. Then
repeated under normal operating conditions. If this is not possible, then the procedure should be
performed in an open area free of any objects or bystanders.
1. Disengage the brake if activated.
2. With the bypass valve open (Transaxle release lever towards rear and over in slot) and the engine
running, slowly move the directional control in both forward and reverse directions (5 or 6 times).
3. With the bypass valve closed (Transaxle release lever in forward position) and the engine running,
slowly move the directional control in both forward and reverse directions (5 to 6 times). Check the oil
level, and add oil as required after stopping the engine.
4. It may be necessary to repeat Steps 2 and 3 until all the air is completely purged from the system.
When the transaxle operates at normal noise levels and moves smoothly forward and reverse at normal
speeds, then the transaxle is considered purged.
Please call us, if you have any questions regarding any of the above procedures.
