4.
Set the throttle to half throttle position.
7.
After cold start, if the engine runs smoothly, move the choke lever slowly back to
the “OPEN” position after around 5-15 seconds.
After warm start, move the choke lever to the “OPEN” position immediately.
8.
After warm-up, move the throttle lever towards full throttle position until resistance is
felt.
If making repeated attempts to start, always wait for the engine to come to a
complete stop before trying again.
5.
Pull the starter rope out slowly until a
slight resistance is felt; then pull the cord
rapidly.
6.
Place the throttle back to the idle position and allow the engine to warm up for 1-2
minutes depending on the ambient temperature.
ATTENTION! The throttle lever must not be forced past the full
throttle position, otherwise the engine speed limit will be too high,
resulting in damage. This can lead to incorrect resonance on other
components and thus damage the entire machine. The same applies
to increasing the maximum speed setting.
DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way out to the end!
Make sure that the cable is retracted as quickly as possible without letting
go of it during retraction - so that it is drawn all the way in to the housing.
ATTENTION! Operation of the machine with too heavily soiled, defective, or
incorrectly seated air filter will cause damage to the engine. Such operation will
void the warranty and guarantee.
ATTENTION! Never try to tension the belt while the engine is running! Serious
injury can occur from moving belts! Always remove the spark plug from machines
with petrol engines before starting any maintenance to avoid accidental starting of
the engine!
Tighten the belt when transmission power feels low or disappears (e.g. if there is a
problem in overcoming gradients).
Adjusting the Belt Tension
1.
Loosen the engine bolts.
2.
Move the engine manually back until the right belt tension is achieved.
3.
Re-tighten the engine bolts.
4.
IMPORTANT! After adjusting the belt tension, check that the brakes disengage
correctly.!
Try to rotate the brake drum on the left side of the transmission with one hand,
while operating the red clutch lever with the other hand.!
While holding the red clutch lever, the brake drum must turn freely in its fixture. !
When the red clutch lever is released, the brake drum must not rotate in its
fixture.!
If necessary, the brake cable connection must be adjusted on the belt tensioner.
Transmission Oil Change
Remove the oil drain plug at the bottom of the left side of the gearbox. Using a
suitable hoist, slightly tilt the Track Dumper to the left and allow all the oil to drain
into a suitable container. Always dispose of drained oil in accordance with local and
national environmental regulations for disposal. To refill, slightly tilt the Track Dumper
to the right using a suitable hoist and fill with gear oil as specified in the technical
data. Replace the oil drain plug and tighten.
ATTENTION! When the transmission power deteriorates noticeably, the belt
tension must be checked and adjusted!
