Air Cleaner
WARNING!
Always wear proper and necessary safety equipment
when performing service functions. Proper safety equipment includes
eye protection, breathing protection, hand protection and foot protec-
tion.
Replace the outer air cleaner cartridge and check the inner cartridge every 250 hours of
operation or more often if operating the sawmill in dirty conditions or if engine perfor-
mance indicates a new cartridge is necessary.
CAUTION!
Do not clean elements with water or compressed air. Do
not handle the inner element unless it is to be changed. Handle new
elements carefully. Contact with the element could cause damage and
prevent the filter from operating properly.
Replace the inner air cleaner cartridge every 1200 hours of operation or more often if
operating the sawmill in dirty conditions.

Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel filter every 100 hours of operation or as required for engine perfor-
mance.

Battery
Check the battery electrolyte level every 50 hours of operation. See manufacturer’s man-
ual for instructions.
DANGER!
Batteries expel explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames,
burning cigarettes, or other ignition sources away at all times. Always
wear safety goggles and a face shield when working near batteries.
Failure to do so will cause serious injury.
