WARNING
Gasoline is harmful and can be fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious
injury and illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or
conditioner opening.
• Keep gas away from eyes and skin.
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to provide
the following benefits:
•
Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or less.
For longer storage it is recommended that the fuel tank
be drained.
•
Cleans the engine while it runs
•
Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel system,
which causes hard starting
Important: Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the
gas.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most effective when
mixed with fresh gasoline. To minimize the chance of varnish
deposits in the fuel system, use fuel stabilizer at all times.

3. Add unleaded regular gasoline to both fuel tanks, until
the level is 6 mm to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the

This space in the tank allows gasoline to expand. Do
not fill the fuel tanks completely full.
4. Install fuel-tank caps securely.

Hydraulic Fluid
Important: When changing tow vehicles or tractors,
make sure that the hydraulic fluid are compatible with
the core processors. If the fluids are not compatible, any
fluid remaining in the core processor must be removed.
Adjusting the Brush Height
The core processor should be adjusted so the brush tips
slightly touch the surface but do not penetrate the turf. If the
brush tips do penetrate the turf, improper processing and
turf damage could result.
1. Position the core processor on a level surface.
2. Loosen the locknut on the height adjustment key
