Fig 4
• Screw the bolts into the captive nuts at the three locations
• Tighten the bolts securely using a suitable spanner
Note: Access to the boss under the frame cross member
may be gained by tipping the machine backwards. Enlist
competent help to tilt the machine, and ensure that the
wheel brake is applied before the machine is tipped
backwards. (Fig. 4)
4. Initial filling & checking the oil level
The machine does not come filled with oil.
Fig 5
Oil (provided) should be poured into the machine through
one of the 2 Oil Filler/Level Caps. These Caps unscrew from
the machines engine casing and incorporate an oil level dip
stick. (Fig. 5) Take care not to spill any oil.
Note: It is important that when checking the oil level the
machine is on a stable, horizontal and level surface with the
engine stopped and cold. Two index marks are provided on
the dipstick. The oil level should be maintained near the top
mark. (Fig. 6)
• Remove the relevant Oil Filler/Level Cap and wipe the

5. Connecting an accessory
Your EVO-SYSTEM Engine has a unique coupling that
enables a variety of Evolution accessories to be connected
to and be driven by this machine. This coupling is engineered
to very fine tolerances and must be kept clean and free from
dirt, debris etc.
A cover for coupling protection is provided with each
accessory and should be used whenever the accessory is
'remote' from the engine.
If you experience difficulty in accessory connection, it could
be because the accessory location pins, or the annuli of either
the accessory or the engine are contaminated or damaged.
Fig 7
Refer to the MAINTENANCE section 5 which gives details
of how to clean the annuli mating rings and the accessory
locating pins.
Note: The EVO-SYSTEM Engine has a micro switch
incorporated within the coupling design that senses
when an accessory has been successfully attached to the
machine. The engine will not start without an accessory
being connected. It cannot be run as a 'stand alone'
machine.
• Lock the Transportation Wheels using the wheel brake.
(Fig. 7)
Fig 8
• Release the Accessory Mounting Frame by rotating the
locking levers to their unlocked (down) position and push-in.
• Deploy the Accessory Mounting Frame. (Fig. 8)
Note: It is important that the frame is correctly deployed for
successful accessory connection.
• Lock the frame into position by pulling out and returning
the locking levers to their locked (upright) position.
Note: Each accessory is equipped with 3 locating pins, and
2 rear stabilising pins. The 3 locating pins lock into the 'Uni-
coupling' the 2 stabilising pins slide into the sockets in the
Accessory Mounting Frame.
Fig 9
• Hold the accessory by its external frame and offer it up
to the engine. Visually align the 3 locating pins and 2 rear
stabilising pins. (Fig. 9) Enlist competent help if necessary.
The generator in particular is heavy and help with lifting
may be required.
• Holding onto a convenient part of the external engine
frame can aid the operator achieving and maintaining
alignment when connecting an accessory.
• Gently push the accessory into the engine. Keep the 3
locating pins and the two stabilising pins aligned with their
