Starting the Machine
1. Check oil and fuel levels.
2. Check and clean engine dust filter.
CAUTION! Never run continuously for more than 1 hour
without cleaning or changing engine dust filter.
3. Check carburetor air filter. Change if necessary.
(See “Scheduled Maintenance”)
4. Turn propane service valve counterclockwise to
open.
CAUTION! Always open service valve slowly to allow
pressure to equalize in hoses. Opening quickly may
cause the flow check valve to engage, limiting fuel flow.
5. With the bail throttle in the idle position, engage
the starter by turning the key switch to the
starting position for approximately 5 seconds. If
the engine does not start, release the key switch
for 10 seconds, then try to start again in another 5
seconds.
6. After the engine has started, allow the engine to
warm up for approximately 30 seconds.
WARNING! Catalytic mufflers require a few minutes to
warm up before effectively removing harmful emissions.
Make sure of proper ventilation during this warm-up
period!
Stripping
1. After engine has started, allow approximately 30
seconds for the engine to warm up.
2. If the transport cart is in place, remove it allowing
the brushes to contact the floor.
3. Pull the bail throttle to operating position.
CAUTION! DO NOT engage clutch with the brushes not
on the floor.
CAUTION! DO NOT engage clutch without moving the
machine. If the machine is allowed to run in one spot,
damage to the floor may occur.
4. To stop stripping, release the bail throttle.
CAUTION! DO NOT add weight to the deck.
CAUTION! DO NOT lift up on the handle to add pressure
while stripping.
Note: To not comply with any of the CAUTION!
statements could cause the engine to overheat and/or
damage the brush or drive components.
5. When done stripping, push the machine to the
desired location. Turn off the LP cylinder service
valve. When the fuel is depleted and the engine
stops, turn the key switch OFF.
6. Remove the LP cylinder and store properly. Refer
to Refueling and Storage of Fuel Cylinders.
Idling and Stopping the Machine
DANGER! Allowing the engine to idle excessively will
increase carbon monoxide emissions!
To stop the engine, close the service valve on the fuel
cylinder by turning it clockwise (the engine will stop when
the fuel in the lines is used up). Once the engine stops,
turn the keyswitch off.
