operating it at reduced load about three minutes. In this
period, check the engine noise and the engine oil pressure
(where a gage is fitted) for abnormalities.
B. Long Term Storage
If the equipment is to be out of operation for an extended period,
it should be started at least once per week and run on load for
about 15 minutes after it has reached normal operating
temperature.

PERIODICAL INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
13.6.1.
Lubricating System
Servicing of the engine oil and oil filter element will affect the
engine performance as well as the engine life. Change the
engine oil and the oil filter in accordance with the recommended
service intervals.
A. Engine Oil And Oil Filter Element Change
CAUTION
BE SURE TO STOP THE ENGINE BEFORE DRAINING
ENGINE OIL.
WHEN DRAINING ENGINE OIL, PLACE SOME CONTAINER
UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE AND DISPOSE IT ACCORDING
TO LOCAL REGULATIONS.
DO NOT DRAIN OIL AFTER RUNNING THE ENGINE. ALLOW
ENGINE TO COOL DOWN SUFFICIENTLY.
(1.) Change oil after the initial 50 hours of operation and ever
200 hours thereafter.
(2.) Remove the oil drain plug at the bottom of the engine, and
drain all the old oil. Oil will drain easier when the oil is warm.

(3.) Add new engine oil, through the oil filler plug, up to the
upper limit of the oil level gauge.
B. Oil Filter Element Removal
Use a filter wrench to remove the cartridge type oil filter element
taking care to prevent any oil spillage into the enclosure.
C. Replacing the oil filter cartridge
CAUTION
BE SURE TO STOP THE ENGINE BEFORE CHANGING THE
OIL FILTER CARTRIDGE.
ALLOW ENGINE TO COOL DOWN SUFFICIENTLY, OIL CAN
BE HOT AND CAUSE BURNS.
(1.) Replace the oil filter cartridge every 200 hours of operation.
(2.) Remove the old oil filter cartridge with a filter wrench.
(3.) Apply a film of oil to the gasket for the new cartridge.
(4.) Screw in the cartridge by hand. When the gasket contacts
the seal surface, tighten the cartridge enough by hand.
Because, if you tighten the cartridge with a wrench, it will be
tightened too much.

OIL FILTER
(5.) After the new cartridge has been replaced, the engine oil
level normally decreases a little. Thus, run the engine for a
while and check for oil leaks through the seal before
checking the engine oil level. Add oil if necessary.
NOTE
Wipe off any oil sticking to the machine completely.
D. Engine Oil Additives
Engine oils contain a variety of additives. Your engine should not
need any extra additives if you use the recommended oil quality
and change intervals.
Used Oil Disposal
Do not dispose of used engine oil (or any other oil) in a careless
manner such as pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a
used oil collection facility which may be found in your community.
If you have a problem disposing of your used oil, it is suggested
that you contact your local Ingersoll---Rand branch or dealer. This
also applies to diesel fuel which is contaminated with water.
