MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
LUBRICATION:
Depth Control Grease Fitting (X): A grease fitting allows lubrication of Blade Depth Control
(EE)screw. To access this grease fitting:
•Raise the Diamond Blade (H) to maximum height. Open Tool Compartment (BB), temporarily remove opera- tion manual bag.

Control (EE) Tube.

Engine Oil:
Checking Engine Oil:
Check that engine oil level is correct.
Engine Oil Dipstick (Z) is located on front of engine. Refill engine oil in dipstick hole. When checking oil level, Engine Oil Dipstick (Z) should not be screwed in.
Because engine often operates at an angle, check oil level with engine horizontal. Check frequently to ensure that oil level never falls below lower mark on dipstick. 10W30 oil is recommended.
See engine operation manual for more information.
Changing Engine Oil:
•Turn machine Start Switch (DD) to OFF (0) position. Let engine cool. Use Depth Control (EE) to tilt machine slightly backwards.
•Reposition Oil Drain Hose (NN) to side of machine. Set a suitable container, large enough to hold engine oil capacity, beside machine to catch oil.
•Open end of Oil Drain Hose (NN), and let oil drain into container. After oil is drained, replace Oil Drain Hose (NN) end, tighten securely, return hose to original position.
•Fill engine with recomended quantity of oil - see engine manual for details.
•Dispose of used oil in an environmentally safe manner.
