CARE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Check the oil level in the motor crankcase daily.
Inspect the rubber anti vibration mounts for wear or deterioration.
If the optional water tank is
equipped,
inspect the water hose and its connections to ensure that they do not leak. Clean
the underside of the plate regularly to prevent a build up of material.
CAUTION
:
Inspection and other services should
always be carried out on hard and level
ground with the engine shutdown.
