3. OPERATION
warmed up. The normal engine coolant
temperature range is 82° - 94° C (180° - 202° F).
NOTE:It is good practice to operate the engine under
a lighter load and at lower speeds than normal for the
first few minutes after start-up.
3.15 PARKING BRAKE
BLOCK THE DRUMS TO PREVENT ROLLING
OF THE MACHINE OR SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY MAY OCCUR. NEVER PARK ROLLER
ON A HILL.
When engine is not running, the brake is applied.
When the engine is running and the forward/reverse
lever is in NEUTRAL, the brake will apply within 2
seconds.
3.16 BRAKE LIGHT
When the key is turned to ON, the brake light should
come on within 2 seconds. Shifting into forward or
reverse, the light should go out.
3.17 TO OPERATE
IMPORTANT: Follow Manufacturers "Before
Starting" and "Break-in" procedures on engine.
Always allow engine to warm up five minutes
before applying load.
Start and apply full throttle. Move forward/reverse
lever slowly forward to gain speed desired. The same
procedure is for reverse. To slow down, move
forward/reverse lever toward NEUTRAL.
To gain power or speed by moving forward/reverse
lever slightly off of NEUTRAL will produce the
greatest amount of torque. Moving the lever all the
way forward or reverse will give the greatest amount
of speed.
NEVER OPERATE ON SLOPES GREATER THAN
15 DEGREES OR TIPPING MAY OCCUR.
3.18 FORWARD/REVERSE/NEUTRAL
The forward/reverse lever should be aligned with
NEUTRAL on the console when the roller is moving
neither forward nor backward with the engine running.
The neutral interlock switch should not allow the
engine to start unless the forward reverse lever is in
neutral.
3.19 THROTTLE
Pull throttle out to increase engine speed. Push throttle
to reduce engine speed. For best performance, run
engine at full throttle.
3.20 GAUGES
IMPORTANT: Any time an electric gauge or meter
does not register correctly, replace it with a new
one. Do not attempt to repair it.
Oil Pressure Gauge Indicates engine oil pressure.
Coolant Temperature Gauge Indicates the
engine coolant temperature.
Volt Meter Indicates charging current within
electrical system.
Hour Meter Indicates the operating hours of the
engine while key switch is in the ON position. The
hour meter should be used as a guide for scheduling
maintenance.
AVOID LEAVING THE KEY ON WHEN
MACHINE IS NOT RUNNING. THIS WILL
HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE HOUR METER
READINGS.
