3.Clean the area around the filter base and remove the filter. Do NOT drain the hydraulic system oil.

4.Thread the new filter onto the filter base until the gas- ket makes contact, then tighten 3/4 of a turn more.

NOTE: The oil will drain from the reservoir tank if the new filter is not quickly reinstalled.

WARNING

Be careful when handling the battery. Avoid spilling electrolyte. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery.

When removing or installing battery cables, disconnect the negative cable FIRST and reconnect it LAST. If not done in this order, the positive terminal can be shorted to the frame by a tool.

WARNING

Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion.

Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.

•Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in a cool, dry place and fully charged about once a month. If the battery is left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.

Before starting the unit after it has been stored:

•Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.

•Perform all recommended checks and procedures found in the engine owner’s manual.

•Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before use.
