Lubricant Grade:
Weather Temperature
Below -10 degrees F (-23 degrees C) = Use 75 W.
Above -10 degrees F and up to 100 degrees F (37.8 degrees C) = Use 80 W/90.
Above 100 degrees F (37.8 degrees C) =
Use 85 W/140.
It is recommended that the fluid level be checked daily, at the same time checking for fluid leaks.
Because the lubricant system is the heart of the unit, it is especially important that the fluid be kept clean.
The following procedures should be followed:
1. Stop engine before checking or adding fluid.
2. Check unit for operational warning tags. Heed all warnings.
3. Clean around fluid fill before checking or adding fluid.
4. Change the fluid after every 400 hours of operation. Also, the fluid in the unit should be changed
whenever the fluid level shows traces of dirt or effects of high temperature, evidenced by
discoloration or strong odor.
5. Drain the fluid while the unit is still warm, examining for contamination or metal particles.
