Use unleaded regular gasoline suitable for automotive use
(85 pump octane minimum). Leaded regular gasoline may
be used if unleaded regular is not available.

methanol, or gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol
because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix oil
with gasoline.
1. Clean area around fuel tank cap.

Adjust Reel Support Arm
When machine is operated, gauge wheel should ride over
the turf evenly. If reel support arm has a tendency to
bounce, spring setting is too tight. If gauge wheel scars turf,
spring setting is too light.
To adjust reel support arm:
1. Pull rake lever rearward to lower flex tip reel or broom.

1. Spring scale
2. Counterbalance spring
2. Position a spring scale on transport hook and lift up.
Tension necessary to lift gauge wheel off ground should
be 30–50 lbs.
3. If tension is not 30–50 lbs., adjustment is made by
tightening or loosening adjustment screw on
counterbalance spring.
4. Perform this procedure on both sides of sweeper.
Note: Because of added weight of drive components, the
R.H. spring will require a tighter setting than the L.H.
spring.
