NOTE
•
Maintenance operations require trained and qualified personel.
•
The maintenance schedule is given as a guide. Under severe conditions, the frequency of
maintenance must be increased.

Initial oil change should be performed after first twenty (20) hours of use. Thereafter change oil every
100 hours. Before changing the oil, check for a suitable way to dispose of the old oil. Do not pour
it down sewage drains, onto garden soil or into open streams. Your local zoning or environmental
regulations will give you more detailed instructions on proper disposal.
