CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
• Read and follow the maintenance schedule and the maintenance procedures listed in this section.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Fill in dates as you
complete regular service.
BEFORE EACH USE
CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS
1.
Make a thorough visual check of the Chip-N- Vac
for any bolts and nuts which may have loosened.
Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.
CHECK VINYL BOOT
2. Check the soft vinyl boot (on front of hard top) for
wear. Replace if worn or damaged.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
3. Check tire pressure regularly. Recommended tire
pressure is 12-14 Lbs.
Do not exceed the maximum
pressure listed on the side of the tires.
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
4. Check oil level before each use. Maintain engine oil as
instructed in the separate engine manual.
LUBRICATION
1.
At the beginning of each season, lubricate the latch,
latch pivot bolt, and the axle where the hitch tongue
pivots, with a light machine oil.
2. At least once a season, grease or oil the wheel
bearings. Use automotive wheel bearing type grease
or 20 weight oil.
WARNING: Always stop engine and
disconnect spark plug wire before cleaning,
lubricating or before performing any repairs
or maintenance.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Always use STA-BIL® 360 Performance in every tank
to prevent ethanol related fuel problems. STA-BIL®
is the only approved fuel stabilizer for use in Agri-Fab
equipment.
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SF or SG. Select the oil's SAE viscosity
grade according to your expected operating temperature.
SAE 30 grade oil is recommended for warm weather use.
For cold weather use refer to the engine manufacturer's
Operating and Maintenance Manual.
1. Check
oil level before each use. Maintain engine oil
as instructed in the separate engine manual.
2. Service
air cleaner every 25 hours under normal
conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely
dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and
flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should
be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the
separate engine manual.
3. The
spark plug should be cleaned and the gap
reset once a season. Spark plug replacement is
recommended at the start of each season. Check
the engine manual for correct plug type and gap
specifications.
CLEANING
1. Make sure the cart, the side and front panels and
top are cleaned after each use. Grass clippings and
leaves left in the cart will mildew and cause damage if
not cleaned out.
2.
Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush.
Keep the cooling fins on the engine housing clean
to permit proper air circulation which is essential to
engine performance and life. Be sure to remove all dirt
and debris from muffler area.
