To Get the Engine Ready to Run

After you have used the engine about 10 days set the lubricator so it will feed five drops of oil on the 1 1/2 horse power; eight drops on the 5 and 7-horse power.

Remove the plugs from the holes in the main and connecting rod bearings, clean them out thoroughly, also any other oil holes that you find. Fill the grease cups with the sample grease we furnish and screw the top of the cup down until the grease starts to come out of the bottom. Then put the cups in place on the engine and turn the top down two full turns, which forces the grease into the bearing. Oil all movable parts thoroughly and turn the fly wheels around two or three times to work the grease into the bearings. Oil the intake valve, also put a few drops on the igniter and work these parts by hand to be sure they are free from paint.

Use the best grade of gas engine oil and grease, like the samples we furnish. If a dark oil is used, there is carbon in it that will collect on the inside of the cylinder and on the igniter points and cause trouble.

Our gasoline engine is very evenly balanced, and runs with very little vibration, but wherever possible it is a good plan to mount the engine on a concrete foundation (see page 11), or if you cannot do this, use heavy timbers securely fastened down. If you put the engine on a truck, use a good substantial truck with heavy channels and brace the truck wheels when the engine is running.

The gasoline tank is located in the base and is filled through the filler pipe on the side of the engine base. The

1 1/2 horse power tank holds 11/4 gallons; 2 1/2-horse power, 1 3/4 gallons; 5-horse power, 3 1/4 gallons 7 horse power 6 gallons; 9-horse power, 8 1/4 gallons; 12-horse power, 13 gallons. Always strain the gasoline through a chamois skin, which will prevent any dirt, or water getting into the tank.

The machines you run with an engine, to give you satisfactory service must be equipped with the proper size of pulley to correspond with the pulley oil the engine.

To be sure that the pulleys you are using are of the right size to give the best results, take the speed of' the engine multiplied by the size of the pulley oil the engine and divide the result by the speed of the machine that you want to run. The result will give you the size of the pulley you should have on the machine.

The result, 10 inches, is the, size, of the pulley you should have on the grinder to run it 510 revolutions, per minute.

If there is a pulley on the machine you want to run, to find out what size of pulley to use on the engine, take the speed of the machine multiplied by the diameter of the pulley on the machine and divide by the speed of the engine you are going to use, which will give the size of pulley you should have on the engine to give the best results.

For example: Suppose you had a feed grinder that you wanted to run at 510 revolutions per minute. The diameter of the pulley is 10 inches and your engine runs 425 revolutions per minute.

510xlO=5100/425=12 inches.

The result, 12 inches, is the size of the pulley you should have on the engine to run the grinder it 510 revolutions per minute.

Of course you understand the pulley sizes and the speed of the machine will vary a little one way or the other. When figuring the size of pulley to use, if the results shows an odd size take the nearest even size which will be all right. For example, if the above result should have been 11 1/2 inches, you would use a 12 inch pulley, but if the result had been 10 1/2 inches, then a 10-inch pulley should be used. In case the result should be just half way between regular sizes, we advise using the next larger even size.

If you are not sure as to just what size pulley to get, write and tell us what you want to do and we will tell you what your need.
