MAINTENANCE
CHECKING ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL LEVEL
1. The engine oil level should be checked after every 8 hours of operation or daily as
instructed in the Engine Operator’s Manual furnished with this machine.
2. Level the machine and engine to ensure accurate inspection and to prevent overfilling
3. Unscrew the oil gauge, wipe its dipstick dry, and insert it into the filler hole but DO NOT
SCREW IT IN.
4. The oil level should be between the “H” and “L” marks on the dipstick.
5. Add engine oil as required to maintain a level between the H and L marks, refer to the
Engine Owner’s Manual for viscosities according to geographic temperature ranges.
CHANGING ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL
1. After the first 8 hours of operation, change the engine crankcase oil. Thereafter, change
the engine crankcase oil every 50 hours of operation or annually whichever occurs first.
2. With engine off and preferably warm but not hot enough to cause a burn, slide a
shallow oil catch pan directly under the oil drain plug. Loosen and remove the oil gauge
dipstick and set aside. Loosen the oil drain plug and remove allowing the crankcase oil
to drain into the pan below until the flow of oil has stopped. Warm oil will drain more
freely and completely.
3. Replace the engine oil drain plug securely but do not over tighten.
4. Fill the engine crankcase with fresh engine oil; refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for
proper viscosities according to geographic temperature ranges.
5. Check and verify the engine oil level to be between the “H” and “L” marks on the
dipstick as described in the Engine Owner’s manual and the preceding section.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER
For any air cleaner, the operating environment dictates how often the air cleaner should
be serviced. Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for Instructions
CAUTION- to prevent excessive engine wear, do not run the engine with the air filter
removed
WARNING- DO NOT use gasoline or low flash point solvents to clean the air filter
