/;\ The battery represents a risk of high short illcircuit current. When working on the battery,
always remove watches, rings or other metal objects, and only use tools that have insulated handles.
An authorized operator should inspect the engine battery system monthly (or 100 hours). At this time, the battery fluid level should be checked and distilled water added if needed. Battery cables and connections also should be inspected for cleanliness and corrosion.
Once every six months (or 200 hours), an Authorized Service Technician 'shouldinspect the battery system. At this time the battery condition and state of charge should be checked using a battery hydrometer. The battery should be recharge or replaced as required.
CHECK FLUIDS
An authorized operator should check the levels of engine oil, and engine coolant monthly (or 100 hours). The oil level should be maintained between the "FULl:'and "ADD" marks on the engine dipstick. Recommended fluids are listed are in the "Specifications" section.
Once annually (or at every 600 hour intervals), an authorized ser- vice technician should completely drain and refill the gearbox (if so equipped) using the following procedure (Figure 4.1):
1.Remove panel fuse and negative battery cable.
2.Remove the oil filler/Vent cap.
3.Remove the drain plug and drain the oil into an appropriate container. Dispose of or recycle the oil properly.
4.Reinstall the oil drain plug.
5.To add oil to the gearbox, remove the oil level check plug.

INSPECT EXHAUST SYSTEM
Every three months (or 120 hours), an authorized operator should inspect the entire exhaust system. Abnormal noise levels heard during each operational test may indicate a defective exhaust pipe or muffler. Any defective or leaking component should be repaired or replaced immediately by an Authorized Service Technician.
INSPECT/TEST FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM
Every three months (or 120 hours), an authorized operator should inspect and test the fuel supply system, as well as all fuel system connections. All connections must be tight and in good condition. A loose fuel system line may show no signs of leakage, but may draw air into the system causing rough operation and starting dif- ficulties. Any defective or leaking component should be repaired or replaced immediately by an Authorized Service Technician.
