Before reading the machinery operation section, new operators should familiarize
themselves with the 3 diagrams depicting the TOP, LEFT, and RIGHT views of machine.
These drawings show the activation of all moving parts of the Hurricane.
1. To move the machine: Using the right hand, slowly move the shifter lever in the
desired direction. Forward and left moves the machine to the left, backward and
right reverses the machine to the right. It is just that simple to drive. Speed is
controlled by amount of movement on the joy stick and also by moving travel
speed lever.
2. The left joystick lever is used to position the blade to the surface. Moving the
lever forward and backward moves the blade up and down. Left and right
movement changes the blade pitch.
3. Throttle control is on the left side of the seat, taking the unit from idle to 3400
RPM. The most optimum speed is 2600 to 3200 RPM. To change RPM of engine
turn throttle knob clockwise to lower RPM and counterclockwise to raise RPM.
4. A cooling fan will run behind the seat when engine is running to keep hydraulic
oil cool.
5. Hydraulic reservoir is accessed by removing right cowling and removing fill cap.
6. To change scraping blades: Stop engine. Loosen the set bolt at the rear of the
Blade holder block using a ¾" open-end wrench. Slide the dull blade out and
insert a new blade up against the shim stop. Retighten the set bolt and raise the
control arms to remove wooden block. Lower control arms and resume scraping.
The large 1 1'8" blade holder bolt should not need to be more that hand tight.
With a little practice you should be able to change blades in 15 seconds. Dull
blades can be resharpened and reused many times.
7. Operators should lower the blade by pressing the left hand lever forward each
time they get off the machine. This safety practice eliminates possible bodily
injury from lowering the blade by unauthorized operators.
8. The transport caster should not be in contact with the floor while scraping. It will
lift off the floor when blade is lowered. Caster contact with the floor while
scraping will negatively affect scraper productivity and steering.
9. Do not transport machine with front of machine off the surface of floor higher
than 1/2" or irreparable damage to lift cylinder will result.
