Your unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular 

scheduled maintenance will help your unit achieve that goal. If you are 

unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, we recommend that 

you take your unit to a Servicing Dealer for maintenance. To help you 

decide whether you want to DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the Dealer do it, 

each maintenance task has been graded. If the task is not listed, see your 

Dealer for repairs.

The use of emission control components other than those specifically 
designed for this unit is a violation of federal law.
