Oil Change
1. Use only Sentinel Synthetic Propane Engine Oil.
Sentinel is specially formulated for small, hot-
temperature engines and provides a longer 250 hour
service interval. If conventional SH or SJ SAE 30 oil
is used instead of Sentinel, scheduled maintenance
MUST revert to every 100 hours to maintain engine
warranty.
2. Change the oil after the first 100 hours of operation
and every 250 hours or 90 days, whichever occurs
first.
3. Start and warm the engine so the oil will drain easily
and completely. Push machine to a level surface.
Stop the engine.
4. Turn off LP cylinder and remove it.
5. Remove cap on the end of oil drain hose.
6. Place a suitable container under the end of the oil
drain hose.
WARNING!
Be careful with hot oil being drained. It
may be hot enough to cause severe burns.
6. Slowly turn the valve counter-clockwise, until the oil
starts to drain.
NOTE:
In order for the oil to drain, it may be necessary
to loosen the oil fill cap.
8. When the oil has finished draining, close the drain
valve and place cap back on the end of the valve.
9. Remove oil cap and add clean SH or SJ SAE 30 oil.
Use 1.6 U.S. qt. (1.5 L) when the filter is not changed
and 1.8 U.S. qt. (1.7 L) when filter is changed.
10. Screw in oil gauge. Reconnect the LP cylinder to the
fuel hose.
11. Run the engine at low idle for 2 minutes. Check for
leaks around the engine.
12. Stop the engine. Check the oil level (see
Oil Level
Inspection
section).
Oil Filter Replacement
1. Place a suitable container underneath the oil filter.
2. Using a strap wrench or oil filter wrench, remove the
oil filter. Turn the filter counter-clockwise to remove
it.
3. Apply a thin coat of new oil or grease to the oil filter
seal (A).
4. Install the new filter
(Part #: KA490657007)
by
turning it clockwise.
5. Turn the filter until the seal contacts the mounting
surface (B) of the engine. Then, turn the filter “
BY
HAND”
3/4 turn more.
6. Reconnect the LP cylinder to the fuel hose.
7. Run the engine at low idle for 2 minutes. Check for
leaks around the engine.
8. Stop the engine. Check the oil level (see
Oil Level
Inspection
section).
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-17
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
•
Check the O-ring [A] on the oil filler cap for damage. Re-
place the oil filler cap assembly if O-ring is damaged.
When checking the oil level, do not turn oil filler cap on
threads.
NOTE
○
Some increase in oil consumption may be expected
when a multi grade engine oil (10W-30/10W-40, 5W-20)
is used. Check the oil level more frequently than recom-
mended interval.
Oil Filter Replacement
•
Drain the engine oil (see Engine Oil Change).
•
Using a suitable tool [A], remove the oil filter [B].
○
When unscrewing the oil filter, place a suitable container
beneath the oil drip tray to receive oil from the oil filter and
oil passages in the engine.
•
Replace the oil filter [A] with a new one.
•
Apply light film of engine oil to the seal [B].
•
Install the oil filter.
Torque - Oil Filter: 11.8 N·m (1.2 kgf·m, 104 in·lb)
○
Turn the filter until the seal contacts mounting surface [C]
of the engine. Then turn the filter BY HAND (S) 3/4 turn.
•
Run the engine at slow idle speed 3 minutes.
○
While running the engine, check for oil leaks around it.
•
Stop the engine and check the oil level (see Engine Oil
Level Inspection).
Electrical System
Spark Plug Cleaning and Inspection
•
Carefully pull the plug cap from the spark plug, and re-
move the spark plug.
If the plug is oily or has carbon built up on it, clean the
plug using a high flash-point solvent and a wire brush or
other suitable tools.
If the spark plug electrodes are corroded or damaged, or
if the insulator is cracked replace the plug with a new one.
Use the standard spark plug or its equivalent.
Insulator [A]
Center Electrode [B]
Plug Gap [C]
Side Electrode [D]
Spark Plug Gap Inspection
•
Measure the gap with a wire-type thickness gauge.
If the gap is not correct, carefully bend the side electrode
with a suitable tool to obtain the correct gap.
Spark Plug Gap
Standard: 0.7
∼
0.8 mm (0.028
∼
0.031 in.)
