Important: Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner
to the gas.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective
when mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the
chance of varnish deposits in the fuel system, use fuel
stabilizer at all times.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean around each fuel tank cap (Figure 28) and
remove the cap.

3. Add unleaded regular gasoline to both fuel tanks,
until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck.
This space in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
Do not fill the fuel tanks completely full.
4. Install fuel tank caps securely.
5. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.
Checking the Engine Oil Level
Before you start the engine and use the machine, check
the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to Servicing
the Engine Oil.
Hydraulic Fluid
Important: When changing tow vehicles or
tractors, make sure the hydraulic fluid are
compatible with the core processors. If the fluids
are not compatible, any fluid remaining in the core
processor must be removed.
Adjusting the Brush Height
The core processor should be adjusted so the brush
tips slightly touch the surface but do not penetrate the
turf. If the brush tips do penetrate the turf, improper
processing and turf damage could result.
1. Position the core processor on a level surface.
2. Loosen the locknut on height adjustment key
(Figure 29) so it can be pulled out approximately
1/2 inch.

3. Loosen the roller height adjustment locknuts
(Figure 29).
4. Pull out the height adjustor key and move the
rear roller up or down by sliding the roller height
adjusting plate to the desired height (Figure 29).
Note: Each notch on the height adjusting plate
represents 1/4" rear roller adjustment.
5. Tighten the locknuts securing the adjustment.
6. Repeat the procedure the opposite end of the brush.
Make sure the adjustments are the same.
