CHECKS AND SERVICE 
 

SERVICE EVERY 100 HOURS OF OPERATION 
OR AT LEAST ONCE EACH SEASON 

 
OIL FILTER 

The oil filter should be replaced for the first time after 20 hours of operation during the 
running-in period and subsequently at every other oil change. Unscrew and discard 
the oil filter. 
 

Coat the new oil filter's rubber seal with oil. 
Check the contact surface on the engine 
and screw in the 

filter by hand 

until it 

touches the contact surface. Turn the filter a 
further 

half turn, not more. 

 

NOTE. Use only genuine oil filters. 
 
Start the engine, run at idling and check that 
the oil pressure lamp goes out. 
Check oil level and that there are no leaks 
from the oil filters contact surface. 
 
 
 

 

CLEANING OF AIR FILTER 
 

The air filter should be removed and 
cleaned after every 100 hour operation 
period or once per season.  Loosen the 
clamps with a screwdriver and remove the 
filter.  
 
Clean the filter with diesel fuel and blow it 
clean with a compressed air gun. Soak 
them in thin engine oil. 
 
Let the engine oil drain and refit the filter.
