Fuel Check

1.Remove the gasoline cap located on top of fuel tank.

2.Visually inspect to see if fuel level is low. If fuel is low, replenish with unleaded fuel.

3.When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for filtration. DO NOT top-off fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel.

DANGER - EXPLOSIVE FUEL HAZARD

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and its vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible fluids.

DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.

When refueling vibrator, ALWAYS remove backpack from operator.

V-Belt Check

A worn or damaged V-belt can adversely affect the performance of the vibrator.

1.Unscrew the bolts (7) securing the belt guard to the unit.

2.Inspect the V-belt for defects or signs of wear.

3.If the V-belt is defective or worn, replace the V-belt as outlined in the maintenance section of this manual.

4.A properly tensioned V-belt (Figure 23) should deflect approximately 5 to 10 mm when 5-10 pounds of force is applied centrally between the pulleys.
