IMPORTANT: Brush segments must be aligned properly so they do not nest together (Figure 19).
7.Remove used brush segments and replace with new segments.
IMPORTANT: For each brush segment, align the pair of engagement fingers on alternating support shafts. This will evenly spread the rotating force throughout the support shaft assembly.
8.Install end plate on support shaft assembly and secure with three flanged head bolts (Figure 20).
9.Position brush back down horizontally.
10.Repeat steps 5 through 8 to replace segments for opposite end of brush.
11.Manually move traction unit forward while guiding brush gearbox splined shaft into brush housing
12.Slide brush shaft bearings outward, against brush housing. Tighten each bearing setscrew to lock it in place on center shaft.
13.Install two round head square neck bolts and nyloc nuts to secure each flanged bearing to the brush housing
(Figure 18).

FUEL SYSTEM
Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate, resulting in gum deposits in the system. These deposits can damage the carburetor and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent deposits from forming in the fuel system during storage by adding a quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the recommended mix ratio found on the fuel stabilizer container.
IMPORTANT: NEVER store the engine with fuel in the fuel tank inside of a building with potential sources of ignition.
Add Fuel Stabilizer
1.Turn the fuel valve off while engine is running and allow the engine to run until it stops. Turn engine OFF when it begins surging to avoid engine damage.
2.Add fuel stabilizer, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
3.Turn fuel valve on after adding fuel stabilizer.
4.
5.Run the engine outdoors for 5 minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
6.Slow the engine to an idle speed.
