Improper maintenance can be hazardous.
Read and understand SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND GUIDELINES before you perform any maintenance,
service or repairs.
It is recommended that the following steps be performed at the beginning and end of each 8 to 10 hour shift or daily, whichever
comes first.
ENGINE OIL
Check the engine's oil level at the start of each day and maintain it to the full mark on the dipstick. Insert the dipstick and check
the full mark on the dipstick. See Section 9.
AIR CLEANER
If the machine is operating in a dusty environment check the air cleaner daily. Keep the Air Cleaner Element clean. Take out
the outer urethane foam and inner element. Wash the element in kerosene or diesel fuel. Saturate it in a mixture of 3 parts
kerosene or diesel fuel and 1 part engine oil. Shake off excessive oil and reinstall. Wash the air cleaner case using kerosene.
After cleaning it up, apply the engine oil on the inner part of the case.
If the air cleaner element is seriously contaminated, start-up failure, poor output and malfunctions of the engine may result.
FASTENING HARDWARE
Check all fastening hardware to ensure it is all adequately tightened and that none is missing or broken.
