Bad Boy ZT 4800, Owner'S Service Manual

SECTION 3: ENGINE
Most models have a drain hose installed on the engine
for easier oil changes. Bad Boy recommends that the
oil and filter be changed at intervals of 50 usage hours
or yearly, whichever occurs first. Consult your engine
owner’s manual for exact oil capacity. Bad Boy 10W-30
synthetic blend engine oil is recommended for maximum
protection.
The fuel filter is located in the fuel line about 12˝ from
the carburetor on the side of the engine. Replace the
filter yearly. Prior to the removal of the old filter, note
the direction of fuel flow as indicated on the filter. Have
towels readily available in order to quickly remove any
fuel leakage. Always use new hose clamps and ensure
the security of the new filter by lightly pulling on each
hose. Always perform maintenance outdoors or in a well
ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow any open flames in
the vicinity of any maintenance activities.
The air cleaner is the engine’s only defense against damaging foreign particles. It is
very important that the air cleaner element is inspected prior to each use. Remove
the element and tap its sides in order to remove debris. Do not blow the filter out
using compressed air. Doing so will greatly reduce the air cleaner’s effectiveness.
Replace yearly; more often in dusty environments. Adhering to these practices will
help prevent loss of power and premature engine failure.
Torque the clutch bolt to 50 ft. lbs. on all models.
Re-torque at every oil change.
