Maintenance
Proper belt tension must be maintained to transmit the engine/motor power to the cutting drum. An over
tensioned belt will shorten belt and bearing life.
A damaged, stretched or excessively worn belt should be replaced.
Check oil level before operation. Change engine oil and filter according to engine manufacturers
recommendations.
Engine Air Filter
Important! Clean air filter element daily
Inspect the air filter for excess dust, dirt or damage before the engine is operated. More often if
operating in a extremely dusty environment.
Operating the engine with a damaged or dirty air filter, or without an air filter, will allow dirt to enter the
engine causing premature engine wear which is not covered under the engine manufacturer’s warranty.
Follow the engine manufacturer’s procedures for keeping filters in good condition.
Never work on or under equipment without first securing the equipment to prevent it from moving or
falling.
Always work on a flat and level surface.
Remove spark plug lead on gasoline engine models or disconnect the supply voltage connector on
electric models before performing any maintenance.
Disconnect the power cord at the machine.
