ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Routinely check the condition, clean, tighten, repair, or replace as necessary the following:
• Dig chain boom guard
• Muffler guard
• Hydraulic hoses and fittings
• Fuel lines
• Fasteners
• Safety decals
Clean safety decals often using soap and water.
Do not use
abrasive cleaners or solvents such as mineral spirits
that may damage the decals. Replace any damaged (unreadable) or missing decals. If you replace a machine
part that has one or more decals affixed to it, replace the decals also. Replacement parts and decals can be
purchased from Barreto Manufacturing, Inc. When attaching decals, the temperature of the mounting surface
must be at least 40°F (5°C) and must be clean and dry.
Service the engine according to the engine owner’s manual. Follow the directions for all aspects of service
including air filter change, oil level checking, filling, draining, disposal of engine oil, disposal of
petrol/gasoline, and off-season long-term storage.
Off-season long-term storage of the trencher can be at any ambient temperature.
