maintenance

Engine Oil Replacement:

1.Replace engine oil, in first 25 hours of operation and every 50 to 100 hours afterwards.

2.Oil may be drained more easily when it is warm afteroperation (For more details, see separate engine Owner's Manual).

Air Filter (Every 6 Months or 400 Hours)

1.The air filter element (Figure 30) should be cleaned because a clogged air cleaner can cause poor engine starting, lack of power and shorten engine life substantially.

Figure 30. Engine Air Filter and Element

2.To clean or replace air filter loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing (Figure 30) remove the cover and take out air filter cartridge. If only cleaning of the air filter is desired blow through the air filter cartridge from the inside, moving a jet of dry compressed air up and down until all dust is removed.

CAUTION

NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running. Severe injury can occur if your hand gets caught between the V-belt and the clutch (Figure 31). Always use safety gloves.

Replacing the V-belt

„„Remove the belt cover (Figure 32). Engage an offset wrench 3/4”(19 mm) or the like to vibrator pulley (lower) fastening bolt. Engage wastecloth or the like at midway of V-belt on the left side and whilepulling it back strongly, rotate the offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt will come off.

Reinstalling the V-belt

„„Engage V-belt to lower vibrator pulley and push the V-belt to leftside of upper clutch and, in the same manner as in removal, rotate offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt goes back on.

Checking Clutch

„„Check the clutch simultaneously with V-belt checking. With belt cover removed, check outer drum of the clutch for seizure and "V" groove for wear or damage with your eyes. Clean the "V" groove as necessary. If the shoe is worn, power transmission becomes deficient and slipping will result.

Replacing Clutch

„„Remove V-belt. Remove bolt at engine power output by giving a light tap with a hammer to an engaged wrench and rotate bolt counterclockwise. Remove clutch with a pulley extractor. To reinstall, reverse the procedure.

CAUTION

When ever the compactor's vibration becomes weak or lost during normal operation regardless of operation hours, check the V-belt and clutch immediately.
