Maintenance

Chapter 6: Maintenance

It is good practice to always check for leaks and loose components after use. Also check the machine and listen for knocking sounds. During hard use and in extreme conditions, the service intervals should be reduced.

Check the cooling system’s antifreeze before the Winter.
