INSTRUCTIONS FOR START-UP :
The following checks must be carried out before first starting the fan:
- Make a visual check of the MT236 and its accessories to make sure that no damage
occurred during transport.
ATTENTION: Dot not attempts to start the MT236 ventilator if you notice any kind of
anomaly. Contact Leader North America, Inc. immediately.
- Check that the manual for the HONDA is contained in the pack.
With the engine off, pull the recoil starter. If there is any unusual noise, or if the turbine
gets stuck, stop the engine and contact Leader North America, Inc. immediately.
Read the instruction manual for the engine before filling up with oil or gasoline.
Use the fuel and lubricant recommended in the instruction manual for the engine: fresh,
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 85.
Fill the engine's oil sump with a type of oil recommended in the instruction manual.
MT236 : engine HONDA: oil capacity: 0.16 Gallons (20W50)
The limits for oil use are shown in the HONDA engine manual.
Make sure that everyone responsible for or using this equipment is fully aware of the
safety and operating precautions pertaining to rotating machinery.
NOTICE: By its nature, a gasoline engine creates vibrations. It is normal for the fan to vibrate
when in use, particularly at medium power. To ensure better stability for the MT236 fan,
particularly on an uneven surface, put the accelerator up to maximum power. This will
reduce the vibrations and improve the equipment's stability.
It is possible that there will be some extraneous vibration during the engine's running-in
period. These will disappear after several hours' use.
START-UP OPERATIONS :
The way the MT236 fan is started depends on the terrain on which it is being used.
1/ Check that the fuel tank is full.
2/ Check that there is no fuel leakage.
3/ Place the MT236 fan on a flat surface where there are no slippery products and which is
clear of debris. Make sure there is no obstacle between the fan and the opening for air
entry.
4/ Start the fan after making sure that it is in a stable position, and adjust the accelerator so
as to obtain the desired airflow. (For more information, see the engine manufacturer's
manual).
5/ During blowing operations, regularly check that no obstacle is preventing the airflow
from penetrating the interior of the building, or blocking the fan's suction grill
