ADJUSTMENTS
SPEED BOSS
Speed Boss allows the machine to operate at a
proper speed while raking bunkers on golf courses.
This speed has been factory set at an average
speed of 3-4 MPH(5-6.5 kph). The Speed Boss will
only limit the speed while the rake is in lowered into
the operating position. The speed setting may be
adjusted by removing the ball joint (A) from the link-
age rod (B). Then loosen nut (C). Turn ball joint
clockwise to make the machine operate faster or
turn counter clockwise to go slower. Tighten jam nut.
Connect ball joint to limiting arm. Check to make
sure nothing is binding and test drive to check de-
sired speed.
When the rear rake attachment is lowered while the machine is in forward position, the
forward speed of the machine will slow drastically. Operator should be prepared for rapid
change in speed.
STORAGE
Engines stored over 30 days need to be protected or drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in a fuel system
or on essential carburetor parts.
1. For engine protection, we recommend use of Briggs and Stratton Gasoline Additive, Part Number 5041, or
a comparable gasoline additive. Mix Additive with fuel in fuel tank or storage container. Run engine for a
short time to circulate additive through carburetor. Engine and fuel can be store up to 24 months. Your
Service Dealer has single-use pouches of Gasoline Additive available.
2. If engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with fresh oil of recommended grade.
3. Remove spark plugs and pour about 1 oz. (3 ml) of engine oil into cylinders. Replace spark plugs and
crank slowly to distribute oil.
4. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinders, cylinder head fins, blower housing, rotating screen and muffler area.
5. Store in a clean and dry area, but NOT near a stove, furnace or water heater which uses a pilot light or any
device that can create a spark.
