a)

Turn off the engine and wait until all moving

 

parts have come to a complete stop.

b)

Disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark

 

plugs on the engine.

c)

Remove the Hose Assembly from the Inlet

 

Flange Assembly. With this removed, open

 

the Inlet Flapper and remove any debris that

 

is clogging the housing. CAUTION SHOULD

WORN AS SHARP EDGES ON THE FAN, THE

 

TALON RING, OR IN THE DEBRIS MAY BE

 

PRESENT.

d)

Remove the Discharge Chute from the

 

Transition Discharge Tube’s flange. With

 

the Chute removed, inspect the Transition

 

Discharge part of the housing and remove any

 

debris clogging this area. CAUTION SHOULD

 

BE USED WHEN CLEARING DEBRIS FROM

 

INSIDE THE HOUSING. GLOVES SHOULD BE

 

WORN AS SHARP EDGES ON THE FAN, THE

 

TALON RING, OR IN THE DEBRIS MAY BE

 

PRESENT.

e)

Inspect the Discharge Chute for debris and

 

remove any debris clogging this area.

f)

In order to re-assemble the removed parts,

 

please refer to the Assembly Instructions

 

found in this manual. After the unit is

 

re-assembled, reconnect the spark plug wires

 

and resume operation.

E. Re-filling the Gas Tank

1. If the unit was being operated, make sure the

5.Make sure the Chain Loop Assembly cannot make contact with anything other than the Boom Arm Assembly. If necessary, use a bungee cord to secure it.

6.Remove the Hose Assembly from the Inlet Flange Assembly.

7.Close the Inlet Flapper and rotate the Flapper Retainer (720257) to allow the Flapper to be secured by tightening the knob.

8.Remove the Discharge Nozzle from the TruckLoader Housing.

9.Secure all the removed TruckLoader parts in the bed of the vehicle with the proper rope or hardware.

10.Before moving a trailer containing the TruckLoader unit, be sure that everything is properly secured for road travel and that safety towing chains are properly attached to the vehicle.

Engine Oil and Fuel:

A.Oil Recommendations: using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important. It is also important to check oil daily and change oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine wear and failure.

1.Oil Type: Use high quality detergent oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SC; SH, SJ or higher. Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the time of operation as shown in the following table.

RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY GRADES

engine has been turned “off” and is allowed to cool off

completely.

2. Once you have determined the engine is cool, fill

the tank with the proper fuel. Take extra caution

when filling the tank not to over-fill it. The fuel

5W-20, 5W-30

10W-

Kohler “Command”

recommendations are found in the Engine Oil and Fuel

section of this manual.

Transportation:

A. Preparing the TruckLoader Unit for Transportation

1.Make sure the engine is off.

2.Disconnect the Carabiner (720487) from the hose band.

3.Attach the Carabiner to the chain link closest to the Boom Arm Assembly.

4.Rotate the Boom Arm Assembly toward the vehicle to allow the locking bosses on the Arm and Column to line up. Once the bosses are aligned, insert the Linch Pin (720437) through the hole and snap the ring over the boss to secure.

*Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is acceptable, up to 40º. **Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme cold (below -10ºF).

NOTE: Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil or extending oil change intervals longer than recommended can cause engine damage. A logo or symbol on oil containers identifies the API service class and SAE viscosity grade.

B. Fuel Recommendations:

1. Fuel Type: For best results use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a pump sticker octane rating of 87 or higher. In countries using the Research method, it should be 90-octane minimum. Unleaded gasoline is recommended as it leaves less combustion chamber deposits and reduces harmful exhaust emissions. Leaded gasoline is not recommended and must not be used on models where exhaust

emissions are regulated.
