diate vicinity.
Make sure conveyor is on a stable ground surface and
placed as close to level as possible.
Make sure all guards are in place before operating the
conveyor
Inspect conveyor for any hazards or interfering objects
that may come in contact with the conveyor when start-
ing the conveyor. Make sure all maintenance has been
done.
Be careful not to overload the conveyor belt with the
material you are trying to move.
1. Make sure the Firewood conveyors is on a flat, level
surface.
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
Read and understand all the safety
information in this manual before you
operate the machine.
The operator is responsible to be
familiar with and obey all operating
and safety procedures.
OPERATING SAFETY
ADD OIL TO ENGINE
The engine is shipped without oil. Do
not start the engine before adding oil.
Because of the many moving parts on
the conveyor, all personnel in the area
of the conveyor need to be warned that
the conveyor is about to be started.
3. Using a funnel, add oil up to the FULL mark on the
dipstick. (See engine manual for oil capacity, oil recom-
mendation, and location of fill cap.).

OPERATION
www.mechmaxx.com
The engine must be off and allowed to cool at least two
minutes before adding fuel.
Remove the fuel filler cap and fill the tank. (See engine
manual for fuel capacity, fuel recommendation, and
location of fuel cap.)
This equipment and/or its engine may
include evaporative emissions control
system components, required to meet
EPA and/or CARB regulations, that will
only function properly when the fuel
tank has been filled to the recommend-
ed level. Overfilling may cause perma-
nent damage to evaporative emissions
control system components. Filling to
the recommended level ensures a vapor
gap required to allow for fuel expan-
sion. Pay close attention while filling
the fuel tank to ensure that the recom-
mended fuel level inside the tank is not
exceeded. Use a portable gasoline
container with an appropriately
sized dispensing spout when filling the
tank. Do not use a funnel or other
device that obstructs the view of the
tank filling process.
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. You can be burned or
seriously injured when handling fuel.
Use extreme care when handling gaso-
line.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, never
indoors. Gasoline vapors can ignite if
they collect inside an enclosure. Explo-
sion can result.
ADD GASOLINE TO ENGINE
IMPORTANT:DO NOT OVERFILL!

MAINTENANCE
If any part of the protective structure is affected by a
plastic deformation and/or rupture, the protective struc-
ture must be replaced according to manufacturer's speci-
fications.
1. Turn off the engine and release all control levers. The
engine must be cool.
2. Keep the engine's throttle lever in the slow position,
remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug and secure
it.
3. Check for loose screws, misalignment or sticking of
moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other
conditions that may affect its safe operation.
4. Use a soft brush, vacuum cleaner or compressed air to
remove all contaminants from the machine. Then lubricate
all moving parts with high-quality light oil.
5. Check the spark plug wire regularly for signs of wear
and replace it if necessary.
Change hydraulic oil and filter after every 200 hours of
operation, or once a season.
AW-46 grade is recommended and should be changed two
inches below the top of the reservoir.
Note: If the hydraulic oil becomes contaminated, it should
be changed immediately to prevent damage to the
system.
Unless you are trained to repair hydraulic systems, you
must have a qualified person repair the system.
First change after first 5 hours of operation.
Regular changes after every 20 hours of operation.
The outdoor temperature determines the necessary
engine oil viscosity. Use the following chart as a guide:
Unleaded gasoline
Pump octane rating 86 or higher.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends exhaust system life.
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
HYDRAULIC OIL
ENGINE OIL
RECOMMENDED FUEL
Make sure engine is shut off and
hydraulic system is depressurized
before you perform any maintenance.
Make sure hydraulic oil has cooled.
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive, and you can be burned or
seriously injured when refueling.
• Stop engine and keep heat, sparks,
and flame away.
• Refuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
After the hydraulic oil tank is filled to
the marked level, the equipment needs
to be started to allow the hydraulic oil
to fill the pipeline, and then the hydrau-
lic oil is refilled to the marked level.

Make adjustments to the belt take-up adjuster bolt to center the belt on the pulley. Example: If the belt is steering off
the pulley to the left side, the take-up bolt on the left side can be adjusted outward to push the belt back to the right. Or,
the right take-up bolt can be loosened to bring the belt back to the right.
