BEFORE STARTING
1. Fill the crankcase with the
correct grade and type of
oil to the proper level on
the sight gauge. On new
engines or newly rebuilt
engines, use only a nondetergent,
single viscosity
motor oil for the fi rst three (3)
weeks of operation. That is,
an SAE 20 or SAE 30 nondetergent
oil. Multi-viscosity oils
will not allow rings to seat properly
during initial break-in period. After the fi rst
three (3) weeks of operation, a high grade
10 W 40 motor oil is recommended.
C-101 and C-106 Catalyst Equipped
Engines
Catalyst equipped engines are susceptible
to elements in the oil contaminating or
plugging the catalyst. Below are the
maximum limits that are allowed in the
lube oil for catalyst equipped engines:
CATALYST EQUIPPED ENGINES
Phosphorous
Zinc
Ash
Oil Consumption
Max. 0.09% by weight
Max. 0.04% by weight
Max. 0.50% by weight
Less than 0.0015 lb/bhp-hr
2. Fill the cooling system with clean, soft
water to proper level on sight gauge or
one-two inches below the top of the water
hopper. If the engine is to be operated
in freezing temperatures, add a proper
amount of anti-freeze. Prior to pouring into
the engine, it is imperative to thoroughly
mix anti-freeze and water. The engine
cannot internally mix the water as it has
no water pump. Also, it is imperative that
at least 40% water is used. Usually a 50-
50 mixture is very ample unless operating
in Arctic temperatures. NEVER ATTEMPT
TO OPERATE ARROW ENGINES WITH
PURE ANTI-FREEZE IN THE
COOLING SYSTEM AS THE
ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT.
3. Be sure that there is an
ample supply of gas and that
the fuel lines are at least 1" in
size and in good condition, with
no leaks.
4. Push up the compression
release lever to the start position,
so that the intake valve is held open
to relieve the compression for easier
cranking.
5. Disengage the clutch before attempting to
start the engine.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine may be started with a hand
crank, the optional portable 12 Volt DC
Arrow engine starter, or with a factoryinstalled
ring gear starter.
HAND CRANK STARTER
When using hand crank, proceed as
follows:
1. Insert crank in position so that it engages
the cranking jaw securely and can be
turned freely. Be sure the end of the
crankshaft, where the crank fi ts, is clean
without rust or an accumulation of grime,
so the crank will rotate freely on the shaft,
and easily release itself when the engine
fi res.
2. Adjust governor speed setting so the
throttle is at least half open. Reset low oil
pressure shutdown switch.
