GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
TO KEEP THE TRS-20E/TSS-20E IN
GOOD OPERATING CONDITION,
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING:
•
When replacement parts are required,
use genuine Classen parts or parts with
equivalent characteristics including type,
strength, and material. Failure to do so may
result in product malfunction and possible
injury to the operator and/or bystanders.
•
Keep all safety decals legible. Remove all
grease, dirt and debris from decals. Any
safety decal that becomes illegible should be
replaced immediately (see ‘Safety Decals”
section). Safety decals can be affixed by
peeling off the backing and applying to clear,
dry surface. Smooth
out to remove any air bubbles.
•
Do not operate equipment without shields in
place.
•
Do not make any adjustments or perform any
maintenance while the engine is running.
•
Check engine mounting bolts frequently to
maintain proper tightness.
•
Thoroughly clean off blades when
application is completed and apply a light
coat of oil to prevent rust on blades.
•
Keep belt free of oil and dirt.
•
Check for worn or deteriorating components
that could create a hazard. When new
components are installed, be sure that current
safety decals are affixed to the replaced
components. Safety decals can be affixed by
peeling off the backing and applying to clear,
dry surface. Smooth out to remove any air
bubbles.
