Do not use "T" handle when attempting to tilt back
machine for service or cleaning. The "T" handle is
designed for control during operation only.
Do not use excessive vertical pressure.
B. Position for Maintenance & Cleaning
To perform certain maintenance & cleaning tasks
or to change brushes the machine should be
placed in the full "tilt back" position.
PREPARATION
A. Check that the suggested maintenance
schedule has been observed.
All machines are equipped with a multi-function
maintenance meter. The functions include the fol-
lowing: hour meter, service alert and tachometer.
(See Engine Maintenance Meter Instructions).
B. Check the engine oil before every operation!
Make sure the machine is level when checking the
oil. Always take 2 readings of the dipstick before
adding oil. If the oil level is below the full mark,
add just enough oil to the engine to bring the oil
level up to the full mark. Never over fill. Follow
the guidelines in your Engine Owners Manual.
Check for foreign material on the dipstick.
C. Properly fill and check your LP tank and all
LP fuel lines for leaks!
1. One man method:
a. Standing behind the machine, place one
foot on the brace at the base of the
propane tank.
b. Place one hand on the handle and the
other on the "U" frame handle support.
c. While pulling and leaning back, lift the
other foot off the floor and extend it
directly behind. This will shift the bal-
ance and naturally tilt the equipment to
transport or full "tilt back" position
without undue strain.
2.Two man method:
Two people side by side perform the above
procedure simultaneously. This is a safer,
more comfortable technique to use until more
experience is gained with the equipment.

WARNINGS!
SIDEWINDER PG. 3
1. Every tank has been pressure and leak
tested. However, every time a tank is filled
and/or connected to the machine it should
be soap tested. All LP lines must be pres-
surized and every inch of line and connec-
tions must be sprayed. If you find a leak,
make the proper repairs before operating
the machine. NOTE: The connection and
disconnection of the LP tank must be done
in a well ventilated area with NO source of
ignition within 10 feet (3 meters) from the
point of connection.
2. Never over fill the LP tank! The LP tank
is designed to hold just 20 pounds of
propane. Make sure to weigh the tank as it
is being filled. The gross weight of a full
tank should not exceed 48 pounds. If while
operating the machine, you notice frost
forming on the LP lines or the regulator,
your tank has been over filled. If you con-
tinue to operate the machine in this condi-
tion, damage will occur. The excess
propane in the tank must be removed
before normal operations resume. The
bleeding of a propane tank should be done
in a safe location outside the building. In
some cases the regulator must defrost
before restarting the engine.
D. Connecting the high pressure hose to the
LP Tank:
Make sure the couplers are in line and screwed
together hand tight. If this is not done properly,
fuel will not pass through to the regulator. Never
complete the connection of the tanks to the
machine by using a wrench. Always do it by
hand. Listen for the rush of fuel to the lock-out
device when you open the tank valve. If you hear
this, it indicates a good connection has been
made at the tank.
NEVER CHANGE OR ALTER THE PROPANE
CONTROL EQUIPMENT!
E. Install fresh pads or brushes before every job:
To install a fresh pad, set the machine down in
the rear. Unscrew and remove the pad-centering
ring. Remove the old pad and center the new pad
onto the pad driver. Reinstall the pad-centering
ring. Never "flip" a pad. Keep the same side down
throughout the life of the pad. Even after a pad
is cleaned, you can tell the down side by the
centering ring indentation. This practice will
increase the pad life and help maintain a prop-
erly functioning pad driver. NEVER TILT A
MACHINE ON ITS SIDE!
