Your machine is shipped ready for your operation, 
with exception of fuel cylinder. For hazard and safety 
issues, the cylinders are sent with no fuel. Prior to 
operation have your cylinder filled at a reputable 
propane dealer. 
 
 
 
The fuel cylinder supplied with this machine is a 
DOT 4E240 propane cylinder. Cylinders not branded 
with DOT 4E240 on the top collar should not be 
used. Never use a cylinder from a barbecue, etc. on 
this machine. 
The capacity of the 4E240 cylinder is 20lbs., 80% of 
the total water capacity. Never overfill the cylinder. 
 

1.  Check fuel cylinders: Check for overfill before 

taking them into the building.  

 

To check a cylinder for overfill: 
a.  Take it to a safe area outside. 
b.  Open the fixed liquid level gauge. 

(bleeder valve) 

c.  Observe the gas from the valve: 

1. If 

White cloud – Overfilled 

2. If 

Clear vapor – Safe 

d.  If overfilled, allow to vent until vapor is  

Clear in color. 

2.   Check Oil level: Check level prior to starting  

engine and daily before using machine. Use 
specified oil if necessary to add. DO NOT OVER 
FILL OIL LEVEL, to do so may cause damage to 
the engine, thus voiding warranty. 
When checking oil refer to the specific engine 
manufacturers instruction manual, as some 
engines differ in correct procedure. 
Use 10W30 oil. 

3.  Check Air Filter: Be sure the carburetor air filter 

is free of dust/oil, etc. NOTE: Dirty filters is the 
most frequent cause of elevated toxic emissions. 
Check and clean recoil dust filter if necessary. 
(see specific engine owners manual) 

4.   Check Pad & Pad Driver. 
5.   Adjust handle height: Use a 9/16 wrench to  

loosen and tighten pivot points. Most find it 
necessary to adjust the handle to “belt height” 
for optimum control. 

6.  Install Fuel Cylinder: Take machine to a well  

ventilated area. Check cylinder for overfill. (see 
step 1) Install cylinder on machine with tank 
strap. Connect the fuel cylinder to the machine 
using “Rego” connection. Tighten “hand-tight”. 
NOTE: Careful not to cross thread the Rego 
connection. Open the service valve slowly. Be 
alert for propane leaks. To remove cylinder 
reverse the procedure. 

1.  Tilt machine back on rear casters so pad is off 

the floor. 

 
2. Slowly 

open the service valve on the fuel 

cylinder. NOTE: opening the service valve too 
quickly may cause the excess flow valve to stop 
the flow of propane. If this occurs, close the 
service valve, wait a few seconds and re-open it 
SLOWLY! 

 
3.  Push the throttle lever to the choke position and 

engage the starter by using the start button. 
(NOTE: If equipped with key switch, start by 
turning the key) Do not engage starter for more 
than 20 seconds at a time, allow 10-20 seconds 
between attempts to start the engine. 

 
4.  When engine starts, ease the throttle back to 

running position. 

 
 

DO NOT run engine with throttle in the choke 
position. Excessive harmful emissions will be 
produced putting you and others in harms way. 

 
5.  Increase throttle to about ¾ and carefully lower  

the machine pad to the floor while walking 
forward slowly. 
 

If equipped with and optional clutch, move throttle to 
slow and engage the clutch by squeezing the 
“trigger switch” on the operation handle. Move the 
throttle to ¾ speed, slowly lower pad to the floor 
while walking forward slowly.
