•
Maintenance operations require trained and qualified personel.
•
The maintenance schedule is given as a guide. Under severe conditions, the frequency of
maintenance must be increased.
•
Initial oil change should be performed after first twenty (20) hours of use. Thereafter change oil every
100 hours. Before changing the oil, check for a suitable way to dispose of the old oil. Do not pour
it down sewage drains, onto garden soil or into open streams. Your local zoning or environmental
regulations will give you more detailed instructions on proper disposal.

Use fresh and high quality lubricating oil to the specified level as directed on page 9. If contaminated
or deteriorated oil is used or the quantity of the engine oil is not sufficient, the engine damage will
result and its life will be greatly shortened.

Maintaining an air cleaner in proper condition is very important. Dirt induced through improperly
installed, improperly serviced or inadequate elements damages and wears out engines. Keep the
element always clean.
