E. CHECK THE ENGINE OIL
Make sure the machine is level when checking the oil. Always take two (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. Check for foreign material on the
dipstick.
F. CHECK THE PROPANE/LPG TANK AND LINES
1.) Every tank has been pressure and leak tested. However, 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.
2.) Never overfill the LPG tank. The LPG tank is designed to hold a maximum of 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 must be done
in a safe manner; refer to the GENERAL OPERATION SAFETY INFORMATION on pgs
3-9. In some cases, the regulator must defrost before restarting the engine.
3.) To connect 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 tool;
refer to the GENERAL OPERATION SAFETY INFORMATION on pgs 3-9.
G. INSTALL FRESH PADS OR BRUSHES
1.) Never tilt back machine while engine is running. Turn off engine and shut off propane tank.
Do not tilt machine on its side; damage can occur to the machine, furniture, buildings
and/or personal injury. Machine should only be tipped back to transport or for service, if
properly turned OFF, in a safe environment and positioned on a flat surface.
2.) To install a fresh pad, lean the machine back and safely secure. 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 pad with the same side down throughout the life of the pad. Even after a pad is
cleaned, you can tell the down side by the centering ring indentation. This practice will
increase the pad life and help maintain a properly functioning pad driver.
