Keep a Log of Engine Hours and

Daily Checks

Keep a log of the number of hours the engine

is run each day and a log of the daily checks

performed. Also note the date, type of repair

(e.g., replaced alternator), and parts used

for any service needed between the periodic

maintenance intervals. Periodic

maintenance intervals are every 50, 125,

250, 500, 1000 and 1250 engine hours.

Failure to perform periodic maintenance will

shorten the life of the engine.
