Operation - Billy Goat LB61 Owner's Manual

OPERATION

Like all mechanical tools, reasonable care must be used when operating machine.
Inspect machine work area and machine before operating. Make sure that all operators of this
equipment are trained in general machine use and safety.
PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING
STARTING
ENGINE: See engine manufacturer's instructions for type and amount of oil and gasoline used. Engine
must be level when checking and filling oil and gasoline.
ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by throttle lever on the engine. Under normal conditions, operate at minimum
throttle to accomplish your current cleaning task.
PRIMER: Push primer.
THROTTLE: Move throttle control to fast position (on engine). Pull starting rope to start engine.
IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START:
See Troubleshooting on page 12.
HANDLING & TRANSPORTING
Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the handle and front of nozzle. Secure in place
during transport See page 3 for weight specifications
.
Never lift the machine while the engine is running.
STORAGE
Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach
an open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliance.
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:
Remove all gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and
causing possible malfunction of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container, away from open flame. Be
sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine runs out of gasoline.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits
during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on
stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.
