diagnosk of the trouble, ageneral troubleshooting section and component
manual troubleshooting charts have fxen included for your convenience.
IMikea garden tractw, Iawmnower arcement mixer, all having one ortwo
functions 10fwrtarm, thebuck-mounted carpet cleaning plant has many
functions to pwform simultaneously.
*Engine has to run at aconsistent RPM.
Vacuum has ta pull air and d@ water bad from cleaning site.
Waler pump provides stable pressure at proper water flow for cleaning.
*Chemical has to be injected into the water stream at the
right cmcentration.
*Heater must maintain proper hsat.
*Vacuum tank must store dirty water until drained.
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
The water system takes incoming water at tap (low) pressure, combines it
wilh chemicals from the chemical system and pumps it under pressure
through theheatingsystern, anctouttothec]eaning tool.After being sprayed
into the carpet, Ihe water/chemicaf/soil solution isextracted by the vacuum
system and returrwd to the waste recovery tank.

TRUCK SELECTION
The preferable vtllclefor HydraCat iristallationis apam?lvan with aheavy-
duty swyx?nsirm package. The capacity of Iho van should be a heavy-duty
1/2 ton at ttm minimum and more preferably a3/4 ton o&pacity.
TRUCK PREPARATION
The manufacmrarmmmmands theinslallation ofpl~od flooring covered
wiftr paly propylene backed astroturf (do not use rubber-backed) in the
vehicl~ prior to installation of machine. This provides ametal to cushion
mounting rather than metal to metal, provides insulation and makes an
attractive van interior. Aslroturf should be color keyed to van interior.
Materials Needed:
1.2 sheets 4x8x5/fY exterior plywood
2. &xl 2’ piwe of commercial astrotwf
3. 16-f lM sheet metal screws
4.1 quart marine adhesive (optional)
5.1 staple hammar wII12” staples

THIRD, Hydrafdasler strongly recommends an aluminum roof vent be in
stalIed over Ihe location selected for mounting the machine. HydraMaste
alsohighly recommends aflue be installed between the lop of the heate
and the roof vent. Thiswillallow hot air from the heater to escape.
ILACEMENT OF UNIT
4VEHICLE
we are two recommended unit placements:
SIDE DOOR: Most installations are side door. This provides rearamss
paccessories and hoses as well as unobstructed access to compmwnti
]rfdngside of machirw, thus making itabiteasiw’ io perform maintenance
IWorrepair without removing unit from the truck.
REARDOOf%Afthaugh this location partly limits working access, itdoes
wet the noise away from the cleaning site. Some cleaners in the colder
eas prefer this location because if puts the weight mass ow?rthe rear
~eelsfor better traction in ice and snow. Rear mounting requires ttw unit
beslid tothe right side as faras possible. This not only provides adequate
xking space on the component side of the unit but also makes better
sight distribution inside the van (engine and cornponer?tweight line up
~erdrive shaft). Also, it is physically easier to load unit into rear door due
height of van bed.

HARD WATER AREA MAP
The quality of water variis greatly throughout the United States and
influences the reiiibility and effiiienoy of equipment in direct proportion to
its !evelof hardness. The map below detinesareas which cornprumise fluid
related components such as hoses, fittings, heaters, pumps, valves and
water cooled engines.
Cleaning efficiency and equipment life is increased, chemical use de-
creased and the appearance of cleaned carpets enhanced when water
softeners are incorporated in hard water areas. Manufacturer strongly
urges the use of water softener units in areas exceeding 31/2 grains per
oallon. Using the legend as areference, determine the quality of water in
~our area aid take ;ction immediately should it be nece&a~.

WATER SOFTENER
Many areas of the country have an excess of minerals in the water which
results in what is commonly called “hard water”. These minerals tend to
adhere tothe insides ofheater coils andotherpartsof themachines causing
damage and a loss of cleaning effectiveness.
Reports from several of our machine users commending the results of the
useofwater softeners inconjunctionwith their machines prompts usto rec-
ommend the procedure to everyone in a“hard water” area.
The relatively lowcost ofawater softener service is more than made upfor
intheincreased Iifeof machine parts andcontinuedcleaning efficiency. The
water softener will also increase fhe effectiveness of thecleaning chemical
being used, therefore, less chemical will be needed.
Contactawatersoftener distributor inyour area forinformationon therental
ofasimple water treatment unit tocarry inyour truck. Be sure tochange the
water softener in accordance with the capability of the softener. Example:
Ifthe softener will treat 900 gallons ofwater and machines uses anaverage
of30 gallons perhourof use, andanaverageof 5hours aday, wouidbe 150
gallons aday. 5days would equal 750 gallons of water, therefore, the
softener would be changed every 6working days for maximum softening.

WASTEWATER DISPOSAL
ADVISORY
Them are laws inmost communities prohibiting the dumping of recovers
‘gray” water from carpet cleaning in any place but asanitary treatmel
system.
This cleaning rinse water, reccwred into your unit%vacuum tank, contair
materials such as dete~ents, which must be procwed before being se
for streams, rivers and reservoirs.
IN ACCCMM2AMCEWITtf THE EPA, STATE AND LOCAL MWS, D
MM MWW$f OF WASTEWATER MK7 GUTTERS, ST0f?h4 DRAIN
STllEAA@ RESEJ?Vt’WS, ETC.
Inmost cases, anacoep!ab[e method ofwastewaterdisposal istodischarf
into amunicipal sewage treatment syst@m after first filtering out sol
material suctwmrrpetfiber. Access tothe sanifwy system can beobtaim
through atoilet, laundry drain, carwash drain, RV dump, etc. Permissi[
should first be obtained from any concerned party or agency.
One dis~sal rmtfwd which usually complies with the law isto accumula
the wastewater and haul it toan appropriate dump site. Another solution
the disposal pmblam is !0 equip yourself with an Automatic Pump-O
System. Thetm systems afie designed 10 remove wastewater from tl
tixtractor’s rwoovery system and actively pump the water through hoses
asuitable disposal drain. Properfydesignecf, they will continuously monii
tie Iml of wasttwvaler and pump it out simultaneously to the cleanil
operalion. Tim hidden benefit of this procm is thatthe operator does
have to stop his cleaning to empty the recovery tank. HydraMaster mak
an A.P.O. System available which can be ordered with new equipment
installed Iat@r.
Thi?penalties for nwr+ompliance can be serious. Always check local la’
and n?gufaticmsMbe sum you are in compliance.

ha night lmfore, including hoses and wand.
2. Insulak the gafidt?nhose from the cold ground by running it through an
extra 11/2 inch vacuum hose.
3. In colder dirnates, insulating the truck walls and floorboards will help
prutoct the unit.
4, Don’tprocrastinate during thec!eaning operation or the hotwater solution
line will alw freeze an the ground. The solution iine should be insulated
in exlrerrmly cold climates.
!$.Whenever ~ssible, the truck and machine should be stored in aheated
garage at night or over the weekend. If not possible, place a 1500 watt
electric heater inside the truck, aimed directly at the machine. Never use
apropane heater-it causes excessive moisture on the truck ceiling and
the possibility of it going out is higher. If the machine and truck are left
outside with aheater, you should first drain of possible water from the
machine cleaning tools and hoses. (They freeze also.)
TO DRAIN THE MACHINE FOLLOW THESE STEPS
1. Siphon a 50150mixture of anti-freeze and water through the chemical
ftow meter.
2. Drain the mix tank.
3. Connect Ma freeze guardhow?to the rwxwery tank.
4.Connect Ihecdher ond ofthe freeze guard fitting tothe freeze guard fitting
Iocatfid on the sido of the machine.
5. Connect an open 440 quick connect to the fittings marked “cleaning
solution” on the front oithe machine. (An alternative would beto connect
your solution hww and wand, was to freeze guard them also. Ifyou
choose todo thisycw will also need tohold the !riggerdown onthe wand.)
6. Start the unit, allowing the vacuum from the machine to drain the lines.
7.* Remove tfregarden hose inlet adapter from the end ofthe garden hose.
Conrmct the adapter to the incoming water quick connect on the front of
9hemachine.
8.’ Place avacuum hose over the garden hose quick connect and allow the
vacuum from the machine to drain the lines.
*i4nalternative to #7 &8would be lo make an adapter to allow you to us@
the premade freeze guard hose.
NQTE: Priortofreezo guarding your rnachinemake suretheheating system

ALTERNATE PROTECTION USING
ANTI-FREEZE:
1. Follow Wedraining procedure.
2. Cmnect solution hoses and wand tomachine.
3. Pour a50/50 ariti-$reeze sokJtion into mix tank.
4. Turn on machine and engage clutch. Spray the wand.
5.Continue to add anti-freeze solution until mixture comes out ofwand set.
6. Remove and store hoses.
If you are using an anti-freeze solution to protect your machine from
freezing. 1[is ne~ssary to flush the machine inpreparation for use. Simply
connect the unit tofresh water and spray the wand until anti-freeze solution
is discharged. The anti-freeze soiution maybe recovered by spraying into
an empty container. This solution can be used several times.
BE SURE IT’S PROTECTED! Freezing will cause GRIEF, MONEY and
DOWF&TIME. Don’t mess with Mother Nature!
CLEANING AND CHEMICAL
PRECAUTIONS
Yourmobile carpet cleaning plant has been engineered using the!at@stand
nest sophisticated technology available, to produce the finest carp@t
~eaning results possible. Despite this, however, itremains onlya toolofthe
xpet cleaning trade, and itcan produce only as good ajob as Me person
]Perating it.
Thereare not short cuts to good ca~t cleaning. Itrequirwstime, cleaning
mowledge and the use of good chemicals.
Themanufacturer recommends the use of spotting agents, and traffic lane
nleaners prior to the actual cleaning of carpeting, as required.
Theuse of some chemicals through your mobile carpet cleaning plant can
seriously damage the internal plumbing, high pressure pump and heater.
(Chemical such as concentrated acids, solvents, and some paint oil and
grease removers w/high cwwentration of solvents.)
The manufacturer recommends only the use of chemicals containing rust
and corrosion inhibitors and water softening agents to prevent chemical
build-up which may lead to component failure and warranty invalidation.
NOTE: At no time should achemical solution with apH of less than 7or
higher than 10 be used in the unit.

CLEANING STROKE
PROCEDUREIOVER-WEUING
PIJRPOSE:TOeliminate excess moisture rernainirrg inthe carpet fiber and
the sawtooth appearanw? which results from diagonal movement of the
cleaning tool on all types of carpet.
PROCEDURE: Always move thecleaning tool in smooth foward anciMck-
ward strokes. Apply slight pressureto the forward stroke while the solution
is injected into the carpet. When extracting (drying), applyfirm pressure on
the foiward stroke to ensure apositive “lock” for the vacuum and minimize
the “hopping” effect resulting on unsmooth carpet. During the forward and
reverse strokes, movement to the right or left should only be a~omplishexi
at the extreme rear of the stroke. Overlapping is also important to ensure
even application of solution to prevent saturation when cleaning wand is
stopped twice at the same point at tie rear of the cleaning stroke.
Failure to adoot this mocedure can result in increased chance of “clean
streaks”, fiber’shrinkage, brown out, and longer drying pdods.

Over-wetting isannoying to all concerned and sometimes leaves a bad im-

THESE ARE SEVERAL AREAS THAT WILL CAUSE OVER”WEITING:
1.Too Iew vacuum strokes or improper sawtooth vacuum strokes as
shown in the previous illustration.
2. Obstructed, kinked or cut hoses.
3. Vacuum tank drain valve left partially open.
4. Clogged vacuum blower filter or vacuum tank lid not sealing propxly.
5.Cleaning aheavily foam-saturated carpet without defoamer. (We recom-
mend crystal type.)
WATER AND CHEMICAL FLOW
OPERATION
This electro-mechanical system has been designed to be simple and
trouble free. Incoming water flows first through the Solenoid Control Valve
(1)and the low pressure Chemical Injector (2) which are both mounted on
the exterior of the mix tank. As the water passes through the Chemical
Injector, it is automatically proportioned with apredetermined quantity of
detergent. The MixTank(3)isequippedwith twodifferent float switches, the
Water Level Float (4) responds to the level in the tank and will maintain the
proper volume of solution to be reserved for the water pump. The secon-
dary, LowWater Float switch(5) isasafetyswitch that isdesignedto protect
your system from sudden or unexpected loss of water supply. If, for
example, the water source at the house were turned off, the water level of
the mix tank would drop, activating the secondary switch, which automati-
callydisengages thesystem and pn?ventsthewater pump from running dry.
The desired chemical injection ratio may be obtained by an adjustment of
the Chemical Flow Meter (6)during the fillcycle ofthe mix tank. Water must
beflowing intothe mixtankinorderto adjustthechemical mix. Thechemical
will flow from the Chemical Jug (7) to the Chemical Flow Meter, then to the
Chemical Injector where it is proportioned into the Mix Tank at the desired
chemical setting.
NOTE: %Mththisuniquechemical system, thechemicalflow isproportioned
only during the filling cycles of the MIXTank, not during the direct spraying
ofthewand. Therefore, itis possible that as your wand is spraying, you may
have no chemical flow. Also, the converse is true in that you may not be
spraying your wand, but if the mix tank is in afilling cycle, your Chemical
Flow Meter may be active at the desired flow rate.
The chemical proportioning system will mix chemical with water ata 1to30
ratiowhen the Flow Meter is set at 5GPH, or a 1to 15 ratio when the Flow
Meter is set at 10 GPH.
Atthis point inthe flow, solution (water with chemical) will now be siphoned
from the bottom of the Mix Tank to the inlet of the Water Pump (8). When
the wand is not using solution by spraying, the solution will be bypassed
fromthebottom ofthe brass Pressure Relief Valve(9), back tothe MixTank.
When the wand is spraying, the solution continues its flow to the Water
Heater (10). The coils of this heater have acapacity of up to 2gallons,
therefore it is extremely important that all air pockets are bled out of the
heater prior to initial start-up. This maybe achieved by running the water
system, without the heater on, for approximately 80 seconds.
CHEMICAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The chemical lines may need to be flushed with vinegar periodically to
prevent abnormal chemical build-up. This flushing may be done by remov-
ing the clear plastic hose from the Chemical Jug and inserting it into a one
uart container of vinegar. This should be done with the Chemical Flow
!eter setting on 10 GPH and the Water Heater “off’. Simply spray water
om thewa~d until the quart ofvinegar isexhausted, the repeat the@wess
ith one quart of clear water to void all lines of vinegar.

At the gear end the timing gear teeth are lubricated by being partially
submerged. The gear teeth serve as oil slingers for gear end bearings. At
the drive end of the bearings are grease lubricated.
FILLING PROCEDURE
Remove square head vented oil fill plug (A) on gear end. Remove oil level
plug (B) located in the head plate. Fill gear case until oil drips out of the oil
level hole (B). Use lubricants as listed. Add fresh oil as required tomaintain
proper level. The oil should be drained, flushed and replaced every 1500
hours or more frequently if inspection so indicates. The oil drain plug is
at(C).
NOTE: Older units may have the oil fill level and drain holes located in the
cast iron gear case instead of in the head plate. Bearings on drive end of
blower require grease lubrication every 100 hours of operation. Bearings
which require grease lubrication will have agrease fitting (D) at each
bearing. When regressing, the old grease will be forced out of the vents
during operation. To prevent damage to seals, these vents must be kept

I-IEAIING SYSTEM INFORMATION
The propane heater incorporated in tfls equipment is aspecial design for
WM?inthe carpet cleaning industry. It’shigh pressure coils and thermostatic
temperature control make itsimple tooperate andreliable. Once thedwired
temp%ratumis set,theheater willthen go ‘em’and ‘off’according tothewater
terrpwatum within the heater. As water is wed through the cleaning tool,
cold water entwing the heater will activate the thermostatically controlled
propane valve thereby firing the heater to maintain aconsistent flow of hot
wattw. Once the cleaning wand is shut off and the flow ofwater through the
kmater stop% the treater will continue to burn until the set temperature is
attainfid.
Itis pwsible with this design that the flame may be on when thewand isoff,
likewise, it is passible the flame may be off when the wand is on.
Thisheaferis designedfo &urrJvaporproparreg’as oniy Anyiiquidpropar?e

tt wili also cause improper burning and a soot buiki-up on the coil,%
Therefore, if is necessary to shutoff fhe h@a@rand close tho waiveat th@
tarrkbetween ciearring icmations. Failure to do ff?isaliows sloshing /iquid fo
enfer the vapor feed iine to the heater.
IMPORTANT: Overfilling ofthe propane tank will caus$ many problems. To
avoid this, advise the attendant filling the tank not tcttill the tank mrer$tl%.
When filling thetank, watch the 10%valve and immediately stop fillirtgwhen
14
white fiquid starts spurting from the 10% valve. To prevent damage to the
propane regulator, always cfose the valve on the tank before fflfing.
The propane regulator is pre-set at the factory at 6oz. of propane. This
reading is taken at the control valve on the heater (see figure ANo. 6). To
prevent road dust and moisture from entering the propane regulator, keep
the white plastic cover (supplied) on the regulator at all times.
To avoid restriction of air flow at base of heater, keep articles such as
chemical containers, hose, boxes, etc. from within 18 inches of base of
heater. NOTE This restricted situation also creates an over rich condition
which results in soot build-up.
lMPORTANf7 Ifa newpropanetank has been installed orhoses havebeen
disconnected, air may enter propane hoses and must be purged prior to
attempting tolight the pilot burner. Should this condition exist,operator must
depress the pilot button for 1-5 minutes and attempt to ignite the pilot light
at 15second intervals. Avery slight hissing noise should be evident while
performing this operation.
Check heater forpropane leaks regularly as loading andunioadinghoses,
tools, etc., mayaccidentally bump against heater fitting or pipes.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR CAT PUMP REPAIR
As you mwnow!ym.trdischarge manifold, there is aset of 3check valves
{which usually fall OUIduring dis-assarnbly). Ifthe surfaces of these check
vtives am dirty, OFshow signs of chemical build-up, it is pmbahle that they
would mrnain awn causing pmssum Iossc!r pulsation. Upon inspecting the
valwas,make sum Ihatthe tefkm button inthevalve spring retainers are still
intact. Also examine the discharge manifold. Look for problems such as
cracks, chwnical buildup or warpage ch.mMhewing. If this discharge
manifold is warped, itwill cause th~ check valves to stick and will result in
loss of pnlssure.
The Cat pump cups am Men the source of pressure loss. Upon inspection
they rnayappearmeked ortorn, but often they will look good. Replace them
anyway. Thereisrw sure rnethodofvisualfyinspecting thecups. HydraMas-
tw recommends changing cups whether they look good or not.
Anytim@your pump is being dismantled, HydraMaster recommends re-
placermnt dall ‘o’ rings and seals. This is merely aconvenience to the
customer to make sure that the Cat pump is in top operating condition.
The Prmwm-A-Lube Mals located within the intake manifold will atlowair to
@nt@rthe pump if they are vmrn. Again, it is difficult to visually pinpoint a
defective Prrrrrm-A-Lutw seal. Replace them al.
Repairing of Cat pumps is not adifficult task. However, before disassem-
Ming make swa you hava tie proper parts required.
1- ShOti (Of hot) CLd kit 6-piston sleeve ‘o’ rings
3- Prmrrn-A-Lube seals 1- bottle Cat oil
Readinstructions thoroughly, suppfied in the Cat pump manual prior todis-
assernbly and fallow directions as stated. Oilall seals thoroughly ~“or toin-
stallation. (Remember, anewiy scarred seal is no better than one you just
took aut.)
SERVICING THE VALVE
ASSEMBLIES
DISASSEMBLY
1.Remove th@fastmers securing the discharge manifold to the crankcase
of the pump.
2. Support ~discharge manifold and tap from the bac~lde and a soft
mallet to separate hum the crankcase and gradually work free from
qdh’ld$rs.
3. Valve assemblies will remain in the manifold. Pump models with the
o-ring groove an lhe outside of the valve seat require the assistanw of
areverse pliers to remove the valve seat. The valve, spring and retainer
will then fall out wlwn the manifold is inverted.
Pump models without the o-ring groove on the outside of the valve seat
pwmii the s@a~valve, spring and retainer all to fall out wf’ten manifold is
inwwted.
mmsfihllm~
1.Place retainers in manifold chambers.
2. Next insert spring into center of retainer.
3. Inspect tie valv~s for wear, ridges or pitting and replace if necessary.
NOTE: Seating side of flat valves may@ !apwd on flat surfa~ usin9 24c
grit paper. Quiet valves due to their sha~ must b? replaced. -
Insert valve over spring with recessed (dish) side down.
Nextexamine the seating surface of the flalvalve seats and lap with ?.40
grit paper or replace if evicklnco of excessivw wow. (Met valve S43ats
should be replatwd if vmrn. Lap new quiet valve and seat to assure
positive seal.
Some pump models have o-rings for easa of installation and to avoid
damaging elastomers.
DTE First install o-ring ingroove on sea! (towards seating surface), then
back-up ring.
DTE: Modelswithout outer groove on mat require the o-ring to beplaced
on lip of retainer.
Insert valve seats into manifold chambers.
Position manifold back onto pump.
OTE: Lubricate o-rirms on cylinder and exercise caution when slkmino

3. Change crankcase oil and filter more than.
OUT-OF-SERVICE PROTECTION
Protect an engine that will be out-of-service tar more Man 30 days as
follows:
1. Run the engine until it reachas normal operating tempwature.
2. Turn off the fuel supply and run the @ngineuntil it stops.
3. Drain oil from oil base while the engine is still warm. Refill with fresh
crankcase oil and attach atag stating viscosity wad.
4. Remove spark plugs. Pour 1ounm (2 tablespoons or 28 grams) of rust
inhibitor or SAE #50 oil into tie cylinders. Crank the engine over afew
times. Reinstall spark plugs.
5. Service air cleaner as outiin~d in tbfANfTENANCE.
6. Clean governor linkage and protect by wrapping with acl@ancloth.
7.Plugexhaust outlet to prevent entmc@ of moisture, dirt, bugs, @tc.
8. Wipe entire unit. Coat rustable parts with alight film of greasa or oil.
9. Provide asuitable cover for the entire unit.

10. Ifbattery equipped, disconnect and follow standard battery
storage procedure.
RETURNING UNfT TO SERVICE
1. Remove cover and all protective wrapping. Remove plug from
exhaust outlet.
2.Check tagonoil base andverifythat oil viscosity isstill correct for existing
ambient temperatures.
3.Clean and check battery. Measure specific gravity (1.260 at 770F[25%])
and verify level to be at asplit ring. if specific gravily is low, charge until
correct value isobtained. Ifthe level is low, add distilled water and charge
until specific gravity is correct.
4. Check that fuel filter and fuel lines are secure, with no leaks.
5.Check that carburetor throttle lever and governor linkage move freely.
6. Connect battery.
7. Start Engine. Exhaust smoke is normal when the engine is started and
is usually caused by the rust inhibitor oil.
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY!
Exhaust gases from all fuels (including diesel, gasoline, liquid propane,
natural gas) contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas.
Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and
death. Symptoms of &rbon monoxide poisoning can include:
Dizziness 7hrobbing in Temples
Nausea Muscular Twitching
Headache Vomiting
Weakness and Sleepiness /nability to Think Coherently
IF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE ANY OF
THESE SYMPTOMS, GET OUT INTO THE FRESH AIR
IMMEDIATELY.
/fsymptomspersist, seek medicalattentrnn. Shutdown the unit and do not
opwale untilithas baeninspectedandrepaired. Protection against carbon
monoxide inhalation includes proper instal/ation8 ventilation and regu/ar,
frequent visual and audible inspections of the complete exhaust system.
Accidental starting of the engine can result in severe personal injury or
death. Disconnect the negative battery cable and spark plug wires while
servicingengine, contiols, or associated equipment.
DAfLY CHECKS OR EVERY 8HOURS
The operator should daily make acomplete visual and audible inspection
oftheengine. Check thefollowing before starting theengine forthe first time
each day:
1. Check all fuel lines and fittings for possible leakage.
2. Inspect exhaust system forpossible leakage and cracks. Locate leaks in
muffler and piping while fhe engine is operating. Repair all leaks immedi-
ately after they are detected for personal safety.
3. Inspect air cleaner system for leaks. Make certain all clamps and fittings
are tight and free of potential leaks.
4.Checkcrankcaseoil Ievelwiththeengine off. Ifengine has been run,allow
aminimum of 10 minutes for the oil to drain down before checking. Ifoil
level is at or below ADD mak on dipstick (Figure 1), add sufficient oil of
the proper viscosity as specifiid in ENGINE SET-UP to bring oil level to
the FULL mark. Donot operate engine with oil level below the ADD mark
or above the FULL mark.

vapors and other harmful blow-by materials from the crankcase. Thes
vapors am routed to the carburetor where they are mixed with incoming a
and burned in the combustion chamber. Asticky breather valve can caus
oil Ioaks, high oil consumption, rough idle, reduced engine power, and
rapid formation of s[udge and varnish within the engine

SPARK PLUGS CONDITION DIAGNOSIS
Engine misfire or starting problems areoften caused by spark plugs in poor
condition or with improper gap setting.
SERVICE
Every 100 operating hours remove the spark plugs, check condition, and
reset gaps or replace with new plugs as necessary (see illustration above).
1.Before removing the spark plugs, clean the area around the base ofplugs
to keep dirt and debris out of the engine.
2. Remove the plugs and check condition. Replace the plugs ifworn or if
reuse is questionable.
Do noi clean the sparkplugs in amachine using abrasive grit. Some grit
could remain in spark p/ugs and enfer the engine causing extensive wear
and damage.
3. Check the gaps using awire feeler gauge. Mjust gaps to 0.025” by
carefully bending the ground electrode.
4. Reinstall the sparkplugs intocylinder heads. Torque plugs to 10/15 ft. lb.
INSPECTION
Inspect the spark pfugs as soon as they are removed from the cylinder
heads. The deposits onthetips are an indication of the general condition of
piston rings, vafves, and carburetor. Normal and faulty spark plugs are
shown in the photos shown above.
Refer to Periodic Maintenance Schedule (Page 29) for cooling system
service interval. Clean cooling fins and chaff screen sooner if required.
Remove any dust, dirt or oil which may have accumulated.
