Machine Preparation
Unpacking the Machine
The machine is shipped boxed on a wooden pallet. To
unpack machine:
1. Cut and remove bands holding the box to the
pallet.
2. Remove staples attaching the box to the platform
at the bottom edge of the box.
3. With two people, one at either end of the box, lift
box straight up and off machine.
4. Cut and remove bands securing the machine to
the pallet.
5. Remove all bracing.
6. Loosen the handle pivot knobs and pull up on the
handle. Rotate the handle downward to the
operating position and push inward until the
handle stops. Tighten the handle pivot knobs.
7. Remove the two knobs that retain the hood to the
bulkhead.
8. Remove the hood and connect the battery cables
to the battery.
NOTE: Connect the red cable to the (+) post and
the black cable to the (-) post.
9. Check machine fluid levels (engine oil). See
Maintenance section.
Note: If machine was shipped by airfreight, add
engine oil.
10. Using the transport cart (see Transport Cart
section), back the machine off of the pallet.
Filling the LP Cylinder
This machine uses the 20 lb (9.1 kg) capacity cylinder,
which meets the D.O.T. 4E240 standards. These cylinders
are also listed by UL. In addition, the steel cylinder meets
European TPED specifications and is CE compliant.
Filling should be done ONLY by a qualified propane dealer.
A properly filled cylinder should not exceed 80% of the
rated capacity. Do not overfill the cylinder or use a liquid
withdraw cylinder on the machine. The use of a liquid
withdraw cylinder on a vapor withdraw system could freeze
the regulator and create a fire hazard.
Installing the LP Cylinder
Place the Safe-Fill
®
cylinder on the cylinder platform at the
back of the machine. Connect the fuel hose coupling to
the service valve by turning to the right (clockwise). HAND
TIGHTEN ONLY! Make sure coupling is not cross
threaded and check for leakage by noting any propane
odors immediately after cylinder is connected. Finally,
secure the tank to the machine using the adjustable strap.
Remove slack by pulling on the loose end and secure
back to strap.
TO REMOVE THE LP CYLINDER, reverse the above
procedure. Always connect or change cylinders in a
well-ventilated area.
