Maintenance
Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required when operating in adverse conditions noted below.
Check Oil Level | At Each Use |
Change Oil | *Every 100 hours or Every Season |
Check Valve Clearance | ***Every Season |
Service Air Filter | ** Every 200 hours or Every Season |
Replace Spark Plug | Every Season |
Change oil after first 30 hours of operation then every season.
*Change oil and oil filter every month when operating under heavy load or in high temperatures.
**Clean more often under dirty or dusty operating conditions. Replace air filter parts if they cannot be adequately cleaned.
***Check valve clearance and adjust if necessary after first 50 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
