Manual and know the operation and maintenance of the engine. When you follow the engine manufacturer instructions,
you will make sure of the maximum service life of the engine. The replacement engine manuals are available from the

•
Check the engine oil level two times each day. Higher than normal oil use can occur during the first 50 hours.
•
Change the engine oil and oil filter after the first 50 hours of operation.
•
Check the fan belt.
