MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
Keep engine oil clean. Change according to engine manufacturer’s specifications.
•
Maintain the oil levels in the engine and gearbox assemblies. Change as required.
•
Use only clean fuel in the engine.
•
Check for loose nuts and bolts on the trowel and tighten as necessary.
•
Check belts for wear, replace if worn.
•
Grease all fittings daily. See diagram.
•
Clean the unit after every use to prevent hardening of concrete residue. Hard concrete is
very difficult to remove, greatly increases weight, and reduces efficient subsequent
operation of unit.
•
Check clutch linings regularly for wear. Linings should be changed when 3/4 worn. Do
not allow metal to metal contact as this will damage the clutch drum. (New lining is
8mm.)
AIR CLEANER
Maintaining a clean engine will extend engine life.
Always keep air filter clean. Clean air filter using the recommended solvent. See engine manual
for proper cleaning procedure. Let the filter dry before reinstalling.
SPARK PLUG
Check and clean spark plugs regularly. A fouled, dirty spark plug causes hard starting and poor
engine performance. Set spark plug gap to recommended clearance. Refer to engine manual.
