•
Do not clean the safety filter. Replace
the safety filter if dirty or when the main
air filter has been
cleaned 3 times.
•
When cleaning or changing the air
filters, place tape over the air inlet hole
to reduce the chance of any dirt getting
inside the engine. Use a clean dry cloth
to wipe down the inside of the air
cleaner housing and cover.
•
Check the general condition of the air
cleaner housing and components. Make
sure there are no dents, cracks, or other
damage to these parts that could allow
unfiltered air to enter the engine.
RADIATOR SCREEN & FAN
•
Inspect the radiator for dirt, insects,
leaves, oil, and other debris that can clog
the radiator screen and fins. The radiator
screen and fins should be cleaned using
pressurized air. Clean fins from
opposite direction of air flow. For
further cleaning instructions refer to the
engine owner’s manual.
•
Inspect for damaged or bent fins, fan
blades, and for corrosion. Inspect the
welds, mounting brackets, connections,
clamps, air hoses, and seals for damage
or breakage. Repair or replace any
damaged parts.
OIL & OIL FILTER
•
Change engine oil and filter every 250
hours of operation or 3 months. Follow
the engine manufacturer owner’s manual
for changing the oil & filter. Only use
engine manufacturer recommended oil
filter. Some engine manufacturers
require special break-in oil to be run for
a certain period of time. Refer to engine
manual supplied with your chipper.
DIESEL FUEL
•
Check fuel level daily and replenish as
necessary. Carlton chippers are
equipped with lockable cap covers.
