IMPORTANT

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

All points of operation and maintenance have been covered as carefully as possible but if further information is required, inquiries sent to the factory will receive prompt attention.

When writing the factory ALWAYS GIVE THE MODEL, SPECIFICATION AND SERIAL NUMBER of engine referred to.

STARTING AND OPERATING OF NEW ENGINES
Careful breaking in of a new engine will greatly increase its life and result in trouble-free operation. A factory test is not sufficient to establish the polished bearing surfaces, which are so necessary to the proper performance and long life of an engine. Neither is there a quick way to force the establishment of good bearing surfaces. These can only be obtained by running a new engine carefully and under reduced speeds and loads for a short time, as follows:

First, be sure the engine is filled to the proper level with a good quality of engine oil, see «Grade of Oil" chart.

Before a new engine is put to its regular work, the engine should be operated at low idle speed (1000 to 1200 R.P.M.) for one half hour, without load. The R.P.M. should then be increased to engine operating speed, still without load, for an additional two hours.

If at all possible, operate the engine at light loads, for a period totaling about eight hours, before maximum load is applied. This will greatly increase engine life.

The various bearing surfaces in a new engine have not been glazed, as they will be with continued operation, and it is in this period of "running in," that special care must be exercised, otherwise the highly desired glaze will never be obtained. A new bearing surface that has once been damaged by carelessness will be ruined forever.

Our engine warranty is printed on the inside back cover of this manual. Read it carefully.

INTRODUCTION

This manual has been compiled to suit the service requirements of the basic engine and accessories most commonlysupplied with the engine.

Teledyne Wisconsin adapts its engines to suit individual customer requirements whenever practical. However, it would become too involved to include all variations in one manual; therefore, should any problems arise concerning engine servicing, we advise that a Teledyne Total Power Distributor or authorized Service Center be contacted, as they are capable of identifying all parts by the specification number stamped on the name plate of engine.

WISCONSIN heavy duty air cooled engines are of the most advanced design and are built in a modern factory, equipped with the latest machinery available.

Only the best materials, most suitable for the particular part, are used. During production, every part is subjected to the most rigid inspection, as are also the completely assembled engines. After assembly, every engine is operated on its own power for several hours. All adjustments are carefully made so that each engine will be in perfect operating condition when it leaves the factory.

Teledyne Wisconsin Motor is backed by over seventy years of engineering experience in the design of internal-combustion engines for every conceivable type of service. The performance of these engines is proof of the long satisfactory service you too can expect from your engine.

Like all fine machinery, the engine must be given regular care and be operated in accordance with the instructions.

   
Safety Precautions

Never fill fuel tank while engine is running or hot; avoid the possibility of spilled fuel causing a fire.

Always refuel slowly to avoid spillage.

When starting engine, maintain a safe distance from moving parts of equipment.

Do not start engine with clutch engaged.

Do not operate engine in a closed building unless the exhaust is piped outside. This exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous, odorless and invisible gas, which if breathed causes serious illness and possible death.

MI-476-4

Never run engine with governor disconnected, or operate at speeds in excess of 3600 R.P.M. load.

Never make adjustments on machinery while it is connected to the engine, without first removing the ignition cable from the spark plug Turning the machinery over by hand during adjusting or cleaning might start the engine and machinery with it, causing serious injury to the operator.

Precaution is the best insurance against accidents.

 

Keep this book handy at all times, familiarize
yourself with the operating instructions.
