General Maintenance
Refer to the original equipment manufacturer’s operating
manual for a complete list of maintenance requirements.
Failure to comply with the procedures as described in the
engine operator manual will nullify the warranty, decrease
performance and cause equipment damage or premature
equipment failure. Maintenance records may be required
to complete a warranty request.
Use the schedule in the following table as a guide for regular maintenance intervals.
* Change the engine oil and oil filter after the initial 50 hours of operation, then at the appropriate interval thereafter.
Refer to engine manual for engine oil recommendations.
Checking the Engine Oil
Low engine oil and overfilling lead to engine damage. The
oil level may only be checked with the engine in a horizontal
position and switched off. If the engine is warm, switch off
the engine and check the oil level after five minutes. If the
engine is cold, you can check it immediately.
