to servicing batteries. Keep batteries out of the
reach of children.
Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground
cable, ensure that all switches are in the OFF
position. If ON, a spark could occur at the
ground connection terminal, which could cause
an explosion if hydrogen gas or gasoline vapors
are present. ALWAYS disconnect the negative
(-) terminal first.
1. Check the fluid level in the battery at least
once
a week.
If low, fill to the recommended level
ONLY
with distilled water.
DO NOT
overfill the
battery. Early failure or poor performance will
result due to loss of electrolyte.
2. Keep cables, terminals and external surfaces of
the battery clean and dry. A buildup of corrosive
acid or grime on the external surfaces could cause
the battery to self-discharge.
3. Battery terminals should be cleaned every
100
hours
to prevent corrosion buildup. Wash the
cables, terminals and external surfaces with a mild
baking soda and water solution. Rinse thoroughly
with fresh water.
DO NOT
allow baking soda to
enter the battery cells, as this will destroy the
electrolyte, resulting in battery failure.
HIGH PRESSURE SOLUTION
HOSES
Inspect your high-pressure solution hoses for wear
after the first
100 hours.
Thereafter, inspect every
25 hours.
If the hoses show any signs of damage
or impending rupture, replace the hoses.
!
NEVER attempt to repair high-pressure
solution hoses. Repairing high-pressure solution
hoses may result in severe burns and serious
injury.
All high-pressure solution hoses must be rated
for 3000 PSI at 250 deg. F. Thermoplastic hoses
do not meet this requirement and should not be
used. Severe burns and injury may result if the
hoses do not meet these requirements.
TEMPERATURE PROBE PACKING
Check the temperature probe packing for leaks
every
200 hours.
Tighten the packing nut fitting
just enough to stop any leaks.
DO NOT
over-
tighten.

ADJUSTMENTS
!
DO NOT attempt to service this unit while it is
running. High speed parts as well as high
temperature components may result in severe
injury, severed limbs, or fatality.

features a Zenith Fuel Systems electronic fuel
injection system.
DO NOT
attempt to service or
repair this system without authorization from the
factory.
VACUUM RELIEF VALVE
With the unit running at full RPM, block off the
airflow at the vacuum inlet ports and read the
vacuum gauge. If adjustment is required, shut the
unit down and adjust the locking nut tension on the
vacuum relief valve. Re-start the unit and read the
vacuum gauge. Repeat this process until the
vacuum relief valve opens at 13” Hg.
