DAILY (8 HOUR) MAINTENANCE

The operator should check the following before the first start of the day and after every eight hours of operation:

1Inspect fuel lines and fittings for leaks. Repair leaks immediately.

2Look and listen for exhaust system leaks while the engine is running. Look for cracks and severe rusting in the muffler and tailpipe. Have all leaks repaired before continuing to operate the equipment.

!WARNING Hot exhaust parts can cause severe burns.

Allow the engine time to cool before servicing the exhaust system.

3Check the engine for dirt and debris and clean the flywheel air inlet screen and cylinder cooling fins as necessary.

!CAUTION A clogged flywheel air inlet screen or dirty cooling

fins can cause overheating and engine damage. Keep the cooling fins and air inlet screen clean.

4Check the engine oil level The equipment must be parked on a level surface ad the engine stopped. To get an accurate reading, wait a minute or so to allow the oil to settle in the crankcase if the engine has been running.
