or death.
This symbol warns of immediate
will result in severe personal Injury
FUEL SYSTEM
• DO NOT fill fuel tanks while engine is running.
• DO NOT smoke or use an open flame in the vicinity of the engine or fuel tank. Intemal combustion engine fuels are highly flammable.
• Fuel line must be LP approved, adequately secured, and free from leaks. Piping at the engine should be approved flexible line. Do not use copper piping for flexible lines as copper will work harder and become brittle enough to break.
• Be sure all fuel supplies have a positive shut-off valve.
Fuels, electrical equipment, batteries, exhaust gases and moving parts present potential hazards that can resuH in severe personal injury. Take care in following these recommended procedures. All local, state and federal codes should be consulted and complied with.
GENERAL
• Provide appropriate fire extinguishers and install in convenient locations. Use an extinguisher rated ABC byNFPA.
• Make sure that all fasteners on the engine are secure and accurately torqued. Keep guards in position over fans, driving belts, etc.
• If it is necessary to make adjustments to your buffer while the engine is running, use extreme caution when close to hot exhausts, moving parts, etc.
• Used engine oils have been identified by some state or federal agencies as causing cancer or reproductive toxiCity.
When checking or changing engine oil, take care not to ingest. breathe the fumes, or contact used oil.
• Do not work on this equipment when mentally or physically fatigued, or after consuming any alcohol or drug that makes the operation of equipment unsafe.
BATTERIES
• Before starting work on the engine, disconnect batteries to prevent inadvertent starting of the engine.
• DO NOT SMOKE while servicing batteries. Lead acid batteries give off a highly explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by flame, electrical arcing or by smoking.
• Verify battery polarity before connecting battery cables.
Connect negative cable last.
PROTECT AGAINST MOVING PARTS
Do not wear loose clothing in the vicinity of moving parts, such as PTO shafts, flywheels, blowers, couplings, fans belts, etc.
• Keep your hands away from moving parts.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
Exhaust products of any intemal combustion engine are toxic and can cause injury, or death if inhaled.
When operating the engine in a confined area, make sure the ventilation system is operating properly.
• DO NOT use exhaust gases to heat a compartment.
• Make sure that your exhaust system is free of leaks.
Make sure that exhaust manifolds are secure and are not warped by bolts unevenly torqued.
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLYI
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can cause unconsciousness and death. It is an odorless and colorless gas formed during combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are:
-Dizziness
• Headache
• Weakness and Sleepiness
• Vomiting
• Muscular Twitching
• Throbbing in Temples
If you experience any of these symptoms, get out into fresh air immediately, shut down the unit and do not use it until it has been inspected.
The best protection against carbon monoxide inhalation is proper installation and regular, frequent inspections of the complete exhaust system. If you notice a change in the sound or appearance of exhaust system, shut the unit down immediately and have it inspected and repaired at once by a competent mechanic.
KEEP THE UNIT AND SURROUNDING AREA CLEAN
• Make sure that oily rags are not left on or near the engine.
• Remove all unnecessary grease and oil from the unit.

Engine break-in as a result of proper care during the first hours of operation of a new or rebuilt engine results in the ideal fitting of all internal moving metal parts, which is essential for top engine performance. For controlled engine break-in.
4. Make sure the engine oil viscosity is appropriate for the ambient temperature and change the oil if necessary. See Table 1, Figure 1 page 6.
OPERATION IN COLD WEATHER
Pay particular attention to the following items when operating the engine in temperatures below freezing.
1. Operate the equipment as it is intended to be operated.
However. for the first 3 hours, if possible. operate the equipment at about half the available engine power, occasionally operating at full engine power for brief periods. Also, if possible, avoid prolonged low-speed, low-power operation during engine break-in.
Make sure the engine oil viscosity is appropriate for the ambient temperatures and change the oil if necessary.
See Table 1. If the temperature drops before you have the chance to change the oil. warm up the engine by moving the equipment into a heated space before attempting to start the engine or change oil.
2. Proper engine oil is especially critical during break-in because of the higher engine temperatures that can be expected. See RECOMMENDED ENGINE OIL.
Change the oil if it is not appropriate for the ambient temperatures during the break-in periods. See Table
1. Figure 1 Page 6.
CAUTION: DO NOT RUN MACHINE FOR MORE
THAN 10 SECONDS IN ONE SPOT OR BURNING
WILL OCCUR.
IDLING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE
3. Check the oil level twice a day or after every 4 hours of operation during the first 24 hours ofoperation. Then check prior to every use. Maintain the proper level at all times. Use the engine manufacturer's recommended oil grade and weight. .
If for any reason the machine needs to be idled for short periods, simply tilt machine back on its rear caster and shift throttle back (toward operator) into Idle
Position. Machine will now idle safely. (CAUTION: DO
NOT IDLE BUFFER ON REAR CASTER FOR MORE
THAN TWO MINUTES. This will raise the emission levels.)
4. Change the oil and oil filter after the first 5 hours of operation.
OPERATION IN DUSTY CONDITIONS
To stop machine tilt back on rear caster, tum valve on propane tank off, and allow fuel in the lines to be used up. FOR EMERGENCY SHUT OFF ONLY. Battery start models: tum off ignition switch.

REGULATOR OPERATION
LP-gas vapor enters at point (A). then passes into primary area
1
1 1
1
(B) at point (28). where pressure is reduced from up to 250 p.s.i. at the tank to 4 p.s.i. in.area (B). Fuel pressure against diaphragm
(4) overcomes spring (6) and as movement increases, spring (9) will close lever (10). The primary diaphragm breather (not shown in drawing). is vented to secondary chamber so that rupture of this diaphragm would direct fuel into the carburetor.
Fuel now moves through passage (E). past secondary valve (29) into secondary area (C).
As negative pressure (vacuum) is created at carburetor venturi and is transmitted through dry-gas hose to chamber (C) atmospheric pressure. exerted through vent hole

(G). forces down secondary diaphragm (18), secondary lever
(24) and spring (22). Fuel will flow in proportion to air velocity through carburetor venturi. insuring an ideal mixture at all engine
1 speeds.
Whenever engine is operating. vacuum diaphragm (16) is down
10 4 against floor (H) and spring (17) is collapsed. The idle and starting
1 adjustment is made with tapered screw (27) which regulates the
1 1 whisker wire system (not shown). opening up secondary orifice
1 1 slightly (but only when vacuum diaphragm Is drawn down). Very
1 1 little vacuum is needed to start this vacuum diaphragm travel; 0.2"
Mercury to start and 0.5" Mercury for full travel. The instant engine stops rotating. loss of vacuum in section (D) releases diaphragm
(16). causing bumper (K) to push against secondary lever (24). overcoming action of whisker wire and insuring 100% lockoff.
This patented Beam design will lock off primary pressures up to five times in excess of normal. permits starting without priming or choking.

REGULATOR OPERATION
LP-gas vapor enters at pOint (A), then passes into primary area
(8) at point (28), where pressure is reduced from up to 250 p.s.i. at the tank to 4 p.s.i. in area (B). Fuel pressure against diaphragm
(4) overcomes spring (6) and as movement increases, spring (9)
Will close lever (1 OJ. The primary diaphragm breather (notshown in drawing). Is vented to secondary chamber so that rupture of this diaphragm would direct fuel into the carburetor.
Fuel now moves through passage (E). past secondary valve (29) into secondary area (C).
As negative pressure (vacuum) is created at carburetor venturi and is transmitted through dry-gas hose to chamber
(C) atmospheric pressure, exerted through venthole (G), forcesdown secondarydiaphragm (18). secondary lever (24) and spring (22). Fuel will flow in proportion to air velocity through carburetor venturi. insuring an ideal mixture at all engine speeds.
Whenever engine Is operating. vacuum diaphragm (16) is down against floor (H) and spring (17)
Is collapsed. The Idle and starting adjustment is made with tapered screw (27) which regulates the whisker wire system (not shown), opening up secondary orifice slighUy (but only when vacuum diaphragm is drawn down). Very litHe vacuum is needed to startthis vacuum d'laphragm travel; 0.2"
Mercuryto start and 0.5" Mercury for full travel. The Instantengine stops rotating,loss of vacuum in section (0) releases diaphragm
(16). causing bumper (K) to push against secondary lever (24). overcoming action of whisker wire and Insuring 100% lockolf.
This patented Beam design will lockoff primary pressures up to five times In excess of normal. permits starting without priming or choking.
