Engine Mounts - Inspect
Misalignment of the engine and the driven equipment
will cause extensive damage. Excessive vibration
can lead to misalignment. Excessive vibration of the
engine and the driven equipment can be caused by
the following conditions:
• Improper mounting
• Loose bolts
• Deterioration of the isolators
Ensure that the mounting bolts are tightened to the
correct torque.
Ensure that the isolators are free of oil and
contamination. Inspect the isolators for deterioration.
Ensure that the bolts for the isolators are tightened to
the correct torque.
Replace any isolator that shows deterioration. For
more information, see the literature that is provided

Check
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to
contact the skin.
NOTICE
Perform this maintenance with the engine stopped.
Note:
After the engine has been switched OFF, wait
for 10 minutes to allow the engine oil to drain to the
oil pan. Then check the oil level.
NOTICE
Operating your engine when the oil level is above the
“
Max
”
mark could cause your crankshaft to dip into
the oil. The air bubbles created from the crankshaft
dipping into the oil reduces the oils lubricating char-
acteristics and could result in the loss of power.
