OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
3-32
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place
before operating the engine. Failure to install the
dipstick and fill cap will result in oil being discharged into the
engine compartment.
Inspect oil fill cap ‘O’ ring and replace if necessary. Install the oil fill cap.
Run the vehicle for one or two minutes and check the filter for oil leaks.
Check the oil level again with the vehicle on level ground. Oil should be
added to bring the level into the safe operating range. Do not overfill.
The engine can be operated safely as long as the oil is within the safe
operating range as indicated on the dipstick. Do not operate vehicle if
oil level is below the safe area indicated on the dipstick.
LUBRICATION
Do not use more than three (3)
pumps of grease in each grease
fitting at any one time. Excess grease may cause
grease seals to fail or grease migration into areas that
could damage components.
Putting more than three pumps of grease in a grease fitting could dam-
age grease seals and cause premature bearing failure (Ref Fig. 33 on
page 3-32).
AIR CLEANER INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
The air cleaner element is accessible by unsnapping the clips on the air
canister and removing the cover and air filter element (Ref Fig. 34 on
page 3-32). Clean inside of cover, canister and dust collector. Install the
element and cover the same way they were removed.
Be sure the pos-
tioning arrow on cover is pointing upward and all clips are fastened
securely.
