10 HOUR OR DAILY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
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 “50 HOUR OR WEEKLY ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE”.
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.
CAUTION
If the air cleaner element is seriously contaminated, the
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.
50 HOUR OR WEEKLY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Check and Change Engine Oil
Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the machine is
located on a stable level surface and stopped.
To check oil level, thread the oil gauge [Figure 10]
(
c
, [Figure 11] ) into oil filler. If the oil level is below the lower
level [Figure 10] (
d
, [Figure 11] ) line, refill with the proper oil
to the upper level [Figure 10] (
e
, [Figure 11] ) (to the neck of
oil filler).
When changing oil, stop the engine, remove the drain plug
(
c
, [Figure 10] ) (
f
, [Figure 11] ), drain the old oil and reinstall
the drain plug before refilling oil.
Add new oil at the oil gauge [Figure 10] (
c
, [Figure 11] ) port.
Always use the best grade and clean oil. Contaminated oil,
poor quality oil and shortage of oil cause damage to engine or
shorten the engine life.
