REGULAR MAINTENANCE
AIR FILTER
Maintenance Interval:
The air filter should be cleaned daily or more often when working
in extremely dusty conditions and replaced after every 100 hours
of operation.
Maintenance:
Remove the filter cover and the foam element. Clean the foam
element with warm, soapy water. Let the element dry completely.
Apply a light coat of SAE 30 motor oil to the foam element and
squeeze out all excess oil. Reassemble the foam element and
filter cover.
FUEL FILTER
Maintenance Interval:
The fuel filter should be replaced after every 100 hours of
operation.
Maintenance:
The fuel filter is attached to the end of the fuel pick-up hose inside
the fuel tank. To replace the fuel filter, first make sure the fuel tank
is empty. Remove the fuel cap. Using a wire hook, gently pull
the fuel filter out though the fuel filter opening. Grasp the fuel
hose next to the fuel filter fitting and remove the filter
but do not
release the hose.
While still holding on to the fuel hose, attach
the new fuel filter.
Drop the fuel filter back into the fuel tank. Make sure that the fuel
filter is not stuck in a corner of the tank and that the fuel hose is
not doubled over (kinked) before refueling.
