Engine Maintenance
Engine Safety
Shut off the engine before checking the oil or adding
oil to the crankcase.
Servicing the Air Cleaner
Service Interval:
Every 400 hours
Check the air-cleaner body for damage which could
cause an air leak. Replace it if it is damaged. Check
the whole intake system for leaks, damage, or loose
hose clamps.
Service the air-cleaner filter only when the service
indicator (
) requires it. Changing the air filter
before it is necessary only increases the chance of
dirt entering the engine when you remove the filter.
