STOW TRAK-20 SAW — OPERATIONS MANUAL — REV. #1 (06/16/04) — PAGE 23
The TRAK 20 gasoline model utilizes some of the same
procedures that are used for the TRAK 20 electric models.
Please reference pages 20 and 21 for the below referenced
procedures:
■ Conveyor Cart Placement
■ Blade Selection and Inspection
■ Saw Blades
■ Blade Installation
Assembly (Gasoline Powered Saws Only)
1. Remove the TRAK 20 saw from its container and place
it on a stable, level surface. Make sure location you
choose can support the weight of the saw. The saw
location should be rigid and stationary so that the saw
will not move, sag, or sway due to the vibrations and
movements of the saw.
2. The gasoline powered saw uses a mechanical water
pump. This pump operates by drawing power from the
drive V-belts, and has been adjusted
dry cutting
operation when shipped from the factory.
3. Fill the water tray with clean fresh water. The water
pump intake (strainer) must always be fully covered
by water to operate effectively. Also, keep the pump
intake free of sludge, debris and other materials that
may accumulate in the tray.
4. Make certain that the water hose will not come in
contact with the blade or interfere with any moving
parts. The best location for the water pump/strainer is
between the splash shield and the rear of the water
tray. This will prevent some of the abrasive particles
from flowing through the pump.
Pre-Setup
STOW TRAK 20 SAW — PRE-SETUP (GASOLINE ENGINE)
The mechanical water pump is
shipped from the factory for
dry
cutting applications.
Wet Cutting Setup (Gasoline Only)
To connect the mechanical water pump to the drive V-
belts for Wet Cutting, perform the following:
1. Loosen the 2 hex head cap screws (Figure 12) that
secure the pump mount bracket.
2. Push the pump handle downward to engage the pump.
The drive belt should have approximately 1/8 to 3/16
inch belt deflection.
3. Tighten the 2 hex head cap screws that secure the
pump mount bracket.
NOTE
4. With the engine running, squeeze the water pump
priming bulb (Figure 13) until water begins to flow
through the water lines. If the pump is working correctly,
the cutting blade should be covered with a steady water
mist. This will keep the blade cool while cutting.

Figure 12. Pump Engage
ALWAYS position the strainer in the water tray in a manner
that will allow the free movement of the conveyor cart, and
clearance from the cutting blade and cutting action.
CAUTION - Shut-down Saw for Cleaning
Whenever cleaning, adjusting or lubricating any part
of the saw, MAKE CERTAIN to stop the engine and
disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
CAUTION - Water Strainer Placement
