ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1.At the end of each day’s use, refill the fuel tank to minimize moisture condensation in the tank. Running out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel system. Also, check the crankcase and air cleaner oil levels and add oil if indicated.
CAUTION
Make certain that the oil filler cap is securely tight- ened after checking or adding oil. If the cap is not tight, oil consumption can increase significantly which may be evidenced by white smoke coming from the exhaust.
2.OIL - Maintenance schedule for changing the oil and oil filter after
NOTE: Engine life will be reduced if the oil and oil filter are not changed according to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
3.Air Cleaner - With normal operating conditions, the maintenance schedule for cleaning the oil bath air cleaner can be found in the maintenance section of the Engine Owner's Manual. More fre- quent servicing is required with dusty operating conditions.
4.Refer to the maintenance section of the Engine Owner’s Manual for the maintenance schedule and fuel filter replacement.
5.Blow out the machine with low pressure air periodically. In particularly dirty locations, this may be required once a week.
