1. Warm engine by running for a few minutes. (Refer to
the engine operator’s manual for oil & filter replacement
instructions.)
2. The oil drain hose (B) is routed along the right side frame
plate (C) of the unit underneath the hydraulic oil tanks.
The hose is stored in the storage clamp (D) when it is not
in use.
3. Remove the oil drain hose from the storage clamp and
route the hose through the opening in the right side frame
plate and into a position so that when the oil drain cap
(E) is removed the oil can be drained into an adequately
sized pan.
4. Place an adequately sized pan under the oil drain hose to
catch the oil. Using the appropriate tools, remove the oil
drain cap from the oil drain hose and drain the engine oil.
5. After draining, replace the cap and wipe up any spilled oil.
Reinstall the oil drain hose into its storage clamp so it is
retained during normal operation.
6. Place an absorbent shop cloth under the engine oil filter
(F). Remove the engine oil filter and replace with a new
one.
7. Add engine oil (refer to engine operator’s manual) in the
fill tube (G) and check the amount of oil in the engine
using the engine oil dipstick (H).
8. Remove the shop cloth and wipe up any spilled oil.
Engine Maintenance
For engine maintenance schedules and procedures, please
refer to the engine operator's manual.
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) System -
EFI Models
EFI is an electronically-controlled fuel management system
which is monitored by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). A
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (M.I.L.) will illuminate if problems
or faults are detected. Servicing by an authorized dealer is
necessary.
CAUTION
Do not disconnect or reconnect ECU wiring harness
connector or any individual components with the ignition
switch in the "ON" position. This can send a damaging
voltage spike through the ECU.
Unplug harness from ECU before performing any welding
on equipment.
Service Air Filter
Refer to the engine owner's manual for air filter service
instructions.
Inspect Muffler and Spark Arrester
Inspect the muffler for cracks, corrosion, or other damage.
Remove the spark arrester, if equipped, and inspect
for damage or carbon blockage. If replacement parts
are required, make sure to use only original equipment
replacement parts.
WARNING
Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the
same position as the original parts or fire could result.
Raise and Lower the Operator Support
Cushion
This unit is equipped with a hinged operator support cushion
(A, Figure 28) which can be raised to gain access to the
service components underneath the control tower. Raise
the operator support cushion to gain access to the service
components underneath the control tower and lower the
operator support cushion for normal operation. A block of
wood can be used to support the operator support cushion in
the upright position while servicing the components beneath
the control tower.
