CAUTION
To prevent the engine from accidentally starting, dis- connect the spark plug lead before servicing the engine.
See Table D.1 for a summary of maintenance inter- vals for the items listed below. Follow either the hourly or the calendar intervals, whichever come first. More frequent service may be required, depending on your specific application and operating conditions. Table D.2 shows engine maintenance replacement parts and numbers.
OIL: Check the oil level after every 5 hours of operation or daily. BE SURE TO MAINTAIN THE OIL LEVEL.
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper- ation. Then, under normal operating conditions, change the oil after every 50 hours or once a year, whichever occurs first. If the engine is operated under heavy load or in high ambient temperatures, change the oil every 25 hours.
