Pump Maintenance
Only the pumps shown in Figures 42, 43 & 44 need periodic
service. All other pumps are maintenance-free.
If your pump looks like the pump shown in Figure 42,
follow these instructions:
Changing Pump Oil
Change oil after first 50 hours of operation and then every
200 hours or 3 months, whichever occurs first.
NOTE:
When changing pump oil, use only high quality
nondetergent 30 weight oil. Use no special additives.
Change pump oil as follows:
1. Turn off engine, disconnect spark plug wire and secure
it away from the spark plug before starting maintenance
on the pump.
2. Clean area around brass oil drain plug at bottom of
pump.
3. Remove oil drain plug. Drain oil completely into an
approved container.
4. When oil has completely drained, install oil drain plug
and tighten firmly.
5. Clean area around pump oil dipstick. Remove dipstick
and fill pump with recommended oil to Full mark on
dipstick.
6. Install pump oil dipstick.
7. Wipe up any spilled oil.
If your pump looks like the pump shown in Figure 43,
follow these instructions:
Changing Pump Oil
Change oil after first 50 hours of operation and then every
200 hours or 3 months, whichever occurs first.
NOTE
: When changing pump oil, use only high quality
nondetergent 30 weight oil and fill to FULL mark on dipstick.
Use no special additives.
If the pump has a drain plug, the oil can be changed without
removing the pump (follow steps 1-7 under Figure 42).
If there is no drain plug, the pump will require disassembly
from the engine. For this reason, we recommend you have a
qualified service dealer change the pump oil per
recommended intervals.
