9.6 Clean the Engine Air Filter
IMPORTANT! Operating the engine without an air filter, or
with a damaged air filter, can allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not
covered by warranty.
Clean the air filter every 200 hours of operation or annually.
A dirty air filter can restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
the engine performance. If the engine is operated in very dusty
areas, clean the air filter more often than specified
.
1.
Loosen the two air-filter cover fasteners.
2.
Remove the cover.
3.
Remove the air filter.
4.
Gently tap the air filter on a hard surface to loosen and
remove dust and debris.
If the air filter is excessively dirty or damaged, replace it
with a new air filter.
5.
Install the air filter in the engine.
6.
Install the cover.
7.
Tighten the two air-filter cover fasteners.

9.7 Winch Rope Maintenance
CAUTION!
The wood processor winch is designed to use
synthetic rope. Use synthetic rope as
replacement only. Failure to do so creates an
unsafe work environment and voids warranty.
W079
CAUTION!
Avoid the risk of rope failure. Do not replace rope
with one that is not approved for use on this
winch. Rope properties may be unknown and
failure could result. Refer to the parts manual for
replacement rope type.

9.7.1 Inspect the Winch Rope
IMPORTANT! Heat and exposure to ultra-violet (UV) light
break down the fibers of synthetic rope, which weakens the
rope and makes it brittle over time. Frequent use in mud,
dirt, and sandy conditions can also damage a synthetic rope
if it is not thoroughly cleaned and cared for.
Check the entire winch rope for wear and re-spool it neatly
(under tension) after every use. Check the winch rope for any
cut strands, fraying parts, abrasion, or heat damage from the
winch. After some use, all winch ropes get a little fuzzy from
abrasion. This is normal. However,
if an entire strand is cut,
the winch rope must be replaced or repaired
. All strands must
be intact for the winch rope to work properly and maintain its
strength.
9.7.2 Clean the Winch Rope
When dirt and grit become lodged between the strands of the
winch rope, they cause abrasion to the fibers when the winch
rope operates under load. Over time, this can cause the winch
rope to lose integrity and strength.
1.
Unspool and remove the entire rope from the winch.
1.
Lay the rope on a clean surface.
2.
Use a water hose to rinse the rope.
3.
To remove dirt and grit from the strands:
-
Fill a bucket with water and mild soap.
-
Place the rope in the bucket.
-
Lay a clean towel beside the bucket to place the clean
portion of the rope on.
-
Starting at one end of the rope, push the rope strands
together to open them up and rinse between them.
