Preparing the Water System

Note: It is very important that the water system be
drained to avoid freezing and damaging the components.
Drain system as follows:
1. Stop the engine, remove the key from the ignition
switch, and remove the wires from the spark plugs.
2. Remove the 2 screws securing the drive shield to the
frame and remove the shield.
3. With the engine OFF and the key removed from
ignition, rotate the drive coupling by hand until
resistance is felt. Continue to rotate the coupling
about 1/4 revolution, opening the cycling valve.
4. Using the appropriate reducers (National Pipe
thread), connect a source of compressed air
(maximum pressure 150 psi; minimum pressure 90
psi) to the water inlets on either side of the machine.
Compressed air can penetrate the skin and
cause physical harm.
• Use extreme caution and wear protective
goggles and gloves when working with high
pressure air.
• Get prompt medical attention if an injury
occurs.
5. Let compressed air flow through the machine
for 3 minutes. While compressed air is flowing,
temporarily open the spray wash and high pressure
drain valve, purging water from the spray wash and
high pressure system.
6. Disconnect compressed air and reducers. Install the
drive shield previously removed and tighten the relief
valve tube.
7. Remove and drain the water filter container. Install a
new filter and replace the filter container.

Preparing the Engine

1. Drain the engine oil from the crankcase.
2. Remove and discard the oil filter. Install a new filter.
3. Refill the engine with 2 qts. of recommended motor
oil.
4. Start the engine and run it at idle speed for two
minutes. Do not run it for longer than two minutes.
5. Stop the engine; remove the spark plugs.
6. Pour one ounce of clean engine oil into the spark
plug holes
7. With the spark plugs removed, crank the engine with
the starter for a least 12 revolutions to distribute oil
in the cylinders.
8. Install the spark plugs.
9. Drain the gasoline from the fuel tank and fuel lines.
Reinstall all lines and secure all connections.
10. Thoroughly clean and service the air cleaner.
11. Check the oil filler cap and fuel tank cap to ensure
that they are securely in place.

Preparing the Traction Unit

1. Thoroughly clean the machine.
2. Grease or oil all fittings and pivot points.
3. Check to make sure that all tires are over-inflated to
20-30 p.s.i.
4. Lightly sand and use touch up paint on all areas that
are scratched, chipped, or rusted.
5. Drain and replace the hydraulic oil and filter on the
cam gear case.
6. Drain and replace the oil in the water pump case.
7. Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with a wire
brush and baking soda solution. Coat the cable
terminals and battery posts with skin over grease or
petroleum jelly. Recharge the battery.
