ENGINE OIL ______________________________________________________________
Check the engine oil at the start of each day, before starting
the engine. If the oil level is low, remove oil filler cap and add
oil as required.

every 75 hours thereafter. See Engine Manual.
Use only engine oils with API classification CD/CE.

Change oil every 50 hours thereafter.
See the engine manufacturer’s Owners’s Manual for

AIR FILTER _______________________________________________________________
The gasoline powered Groom Master II uses a two stage air
filtration system. The first stage consists of a heavy duty
filter equipped with a filter indicator to alert the operator
when a filter change is required. The second stage,
mounted to the engine includes a pleated paper element
and foam pre-cleaner. Diesel units use only a single stage
heavy duty filter with indicator.
Do not remove the element for inspection or cleaning.
Unnecessary removal of the filter increases the risk of
injecting dust and other impurities into the engine.
When service is required, first clean the outside of the filter
housing; then remove the old element as gently as possible
and discard.
1. Carefully clean the inside of the filter housing without
allowing dust into the air intake.
2. Inspect the new element. Do not use a damaged
element and never use an incorrect element.
3. Assemble the new element and make sure it seats
properly.
4. Reassemble cap making sure it seals completely
around the filter housing. Dust evacuator must be
facing down.
5. Check all hoses and air ducts. Tighten hose clamps.
