AFTER FIRST 50 HOURS:
Change oil and replace the oil filter.
Have the engine run until it is on temperature and
stop it. Replace the oil filter. Drain oil by the sump
pump into a suitable retainer and fill up with fresh
oil. Start the engine again and have it run for 5
minutes. Stop the engine again and pause for a
few minutes to let the oil gather in the crankcase.
Check the level again and add oil when
necessary.
Check and tighten nuts, bolts, and unions, paying
particular attention to the fuel system.
Observe the exhaust at the normal full load. The
exhaust must be free from soot. Do not allow the
engine to run with a dirty exhaust without
investigating the cause as this may result in an
expensive breakdown.
Check and readjust V-belt.
Check the electrical connections.
