FILLING THE ENGINE FUEL TANK
Application: SP684 SURFACE SHARK.
Tools Required:
1 each, small, clean funnel
Never mix oil with gasoline. Four cycle engines are
not designed to be operated with oil mixed with the
gasoline.
1) Determine the location of the fuel tank filler cap.
2) Carefully clean the filler cap and surrounding area
to insure that no dirt or debris falls into the fuel tank.
Remove the filler cap.
3) Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean, unleaded
automotive gasoline. Leaded “regular” grade gasoline
is an a acceptable substitute. Do NoT uSE GASoLINE
CoNTAINING METhANoL (WooD ALCohoL)
Gasoline containing a maximum of 10 percent ethanol
or grain alcohol (sometimes referred to as Gasohol)
may be used but requires special care when the
engine is stored for extended periods.
4) use of a properly blended gasoline for operation
during the intended season will result in easier engine
starting. Do not use gasoline left over from the previous
season of operation.
5) Do not overfill the tank or spill any fuel. If the fuel
tank incorporates a screen mesh to prevent debris
from falling into the tank, do not remove to increase the
fill rate. Replace the filler cap. Wipe away any excess
spilled fuel.
DO NOT SMOKE NEAR THE FUEL TANK. DO NOT
FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING
OR IF IT IS HOT. ANY FUELS ARE EXTREMELY
FLAMMABLE. ALLOW AMPLE TIME BETWEEN
EACH REFUELING FOR THE ENGINE TO COOL.
AN IGNITION SOURCE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY
TO THE FUEL TANK CAN BE THE SOURCE OF
AN EXPLOSION, RESULTING IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.CONSULT
THE MATERIAL SUPPLIED BY THE ENGINE

THEORY OF OPERATION
Application: SP684 SURFACE SHARK
The SP684 Surface Planers operate on the principle
of various flail configurations being operated at high
rotational speeds to make direct contact with a work
surface. A series of flails are spaced and aligned on
shafts that span a specified width and rotate on a drum
that can be raised or lowered at the discretion of the
operator. The specific flail configuration and impact
rate directly affect the rate of material removal from the
work surface, the resulting surface profile and texture.
