Maintenance
1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe off with a lint-free,
clean cloth.
2. Insert the dipstick into the engine again as far as it
will go.
3. Pull out the dipstick again and read the oil level.
The oil level must always be between the MIN and
MAX marks. Add oil up to the MAX mark if
necessary.
Checking the Oil Level Sight Gauge
(Diaphragm Pump Only)
Check that oil is visible in the sight glass located on the
side of the bearing housing of the diaphragm vacuum
pump. (It is recommended that the sight glass be checked
daily.) If no oil is visible, oil will need to be added.
1. Shut down the unit.
2. Remove the pipe plug located at the top of the
housing (refer to Figure 4-6).
3. Add 10W-30 oil until the static oil level is below the
center of the sight glass. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Install the pipe plug.
Changing the Engine Oil
1. Warm up the engine (oil temperature greater than
176 °F (80 °C).
2. Verify the engine is in a level position.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Place a collecting receptacle underneath the lube
oil drain.
5. Open the oil drain valve and drain the oil into the
receptacle.
6. After the oil has drained completely, close the oil
drain valve.
7. Remove the engine oil fill cap and add the
recommended amount and type of oil. Refer to the
engine manual for specifications.
8. Warm up the engine (oil temperature greater than
176 °F (80 °C)).
9. Verify the engine is level and check the oil level.
Refer to Checking the Engine Oil.
Changing the Oil Filter
NOTE: The filter cartridge should never be pre-filled.
There is a danger of dirt contamination.
1. Loosen and unscrew the filter with filter tool. Refer
to engine manual for more information.
2. Collect the draining engine oil.
3. Clean the sealing surface of the filter support with a
lint-free, clean cloth.
4. Oil the gasket of the new filter cartridge lightly.
5. Screw on the new filter by hand until the gasket is
touching and then torque to 11-13 ft-lbs (15-17
Nm).
Adding Coolant
1. Visually check the coolant level in the sight glass
located near the top of the radiator. If coolant is not
visible, coolant will need to be added to the sys-
tem.
2. Let engine cool (not at operating temperature, not
running), before adding coolant.
3. Add a 50/50 mixture of the correct antifreeze and
distilled or deionized water to the coolant system.
Add until it is 3/4 in. (19 mm) below the filler neck.
Jack Maintenance
The following procedures should be performed at least
annually.
Side-Wind Models
•
The internal gearing and bushings of the jack must
be kept lubricated. Apply a small amount of auto-
motive grease to the internal gearing by removing
the jack cover, or if equipped, use a needle nose
applicator or standard grease gun on the lubrica-
tion point found on the side of the jack near the
crank. Rotate the jack handle to distribute the
grease evenly.
• A lightweight oil must be applied to the handle unit
at both sides of the tube.
