MAINTENANCE

Engine tank & strainer:

Clean every year/or 300 hours.

Fuel line:

Replace every two years/or as necessary.

Spark plug:

Clean/adjust every 6 months/or 100 hours. Replace every year/ or 300 hours.

Chassis Lubrication

Regular lubrication of various components of the FCG16HA Saw are critical to ensure a reasonable service life. Lubricate the following components:

Drive Belt

Refer to pages 17 to 18 of this manual for Drive Belt adjustment procedures and Removal and Replacement procedures.

Blade Shaft Bearings

Two zerk fittings are located at the lower-front area of the saw. Lubricate before daily use. Use a good quality automotive or general purpose grease. Check and lubricate more often if unit is under heavy use. Do not overfill bearings. Overfilling can damage the grease seals which can result in bearing exposure to dirt and contaminants which can then shorten the life of the bearings. Excess grease can also drip onto the cutting surface.

Engine Oil Change

Drain the used oil while the engine is warm by the following:

Refer to Figure 27.

1.Place an oil pan or suitable container below the engine drain plug to catch the used oil.

2.Remove the filler cap/dipstick and the drain plug.

3.Drain the oil completely and reinstall the drain plug. Ensure the drain plug is tightened securely.

Dispose of used oil properly. DO NOT pour used oil on the ground, down a drain, or throw in the trash. Used oil can generally be taken to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation.

4.Make sure the engine is in a level position and fill to the outer edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil. (See Table 5.) Engine oil capacity is 0.63 US quart (0.60 liter).

CAUTION

Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.

5. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
