MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Please read the maintenance schedule, and observe these 

recommended care operating intervals to extend the life of 

your engine.

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-

free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.  To help 

you properly care for your engine, the following pages include 

a maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and 

simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other 

service tasks that are more difficult, or require special tools, are 

best handled by professionals and are normally performed by a 

technician or other qualified mechanic.  

Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emissions control 

devices and systems may be performed by any non-road 

engine repair establishment or individuals. However, items 

must be serviced by an authorized dealer to obtain "no 

charge" emissions control warranty service.  

The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating 

conditions. If you operate your engine under unusual conditions, 

such as sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or 

use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing 

dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs 

and use.
