ELECTRICAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
The electrical system requires the following visual inspections before each use of the HydraPak:
1.
Fuses must be secured in their holders.
2.
All terminal connections must be intact.
3.
Insure that battery terminal bolts/nuts are tight.
4.
Battery fluid level should be full to within 1/8 inch from bottom of vent well neck.
5.
If the battery charge is insufficient to start the engine, recharge the battery with a 12-volt charger at a rate of 5-30
amp/hour. Rapid charging reduces the life expectancy of any battery. If an overnight charge is possible, proceed with
the recommended rate.
6.
Insure the fan blade is clean and free to rotate.

ENGINE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Check fuel lines and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
3.
Clean the air cleaner daily. Do not use petroleum solvents (such as kerosene) or pressurized air for this purpose.
Replace if very dirty or damaged.
4.
Check oil level daily. If oil level is between ADD and FULL mark on dipstick, but a low oil pressure engine shutdown
occurs, do not try to use the HydraPak before contacting an authorized service representative. If oil level is below the
ADD mark on dipstick, add oil to bring level to the FULL mark before starting the engine.
