MAINTENANCE
COOLING SYSTEM
The machine should be cleaned at scheduled main-
tenance. This should include cleaning the air inlet
screens and the engine cooling fins. Wash machine
with warm soapy water, rinse off mud and dirt with
water, and use pressurized air (30-psi max.) to blow
dirt and debris from engine.
VALVE CLEARANCE
Due to special tool requirements and training, an
authorized engine dealer should perform this service
unless the owner has the proper tools and proper
shop manuals.
Battery-- Battery replacement is a Crown U1-12 or
equal 165 CCA battery. See Engine Specifications
Section for battery requirements.
Battery vapors can explode. Keep sparks and flames
away from batteries. Never check battery charge by
placing a metal object across the posts. Use a
voltmeter or hydrometer.
• Once a month check the battery condition.
With engine off, check the battery for 12.5
volts with a voltmeter.
• Clean battery, posts, and terminals. Discon-
nect battery cables before charging to avoid
damage to the electrical system.
• Keep batteries clean by wiping them with a
damp cloth. Keep all connections clean and
tight. Remove any corrosion and wash
terminals with a solution of 1 part baking
soda and 4 parts water. Tighten all
connections and check that the battery is
securely fastened with properly installed
hold downs.
NOTE: Coat battery terminals and connectors with
a mixture of petroleum jelly and baking soda to
retard corrosion.
• Keep battery fully charged, especially
during cold weather. If a battery charger is
used, turn charger off before connecting
