Engine, General
General inspection
Make a habit of visually checking the engine and
engine bay before starting, and after operations when
you have stopped the engine. This will help you to
quickly
discover abnormalities, or if something is about
to happen.
Look especially carefully for oil, fuel and coolant
leakages, loose bolts, worn or poorly-tensioned drive
belts, loose cable connections, damaged electrical
cables and hoses. This inspection only takes a few
minutes and can prevent serious malfunctions and
expensive repairs.
WARNING!
Accumulations
of fuel, oil and grease on the engine or
in the engine room constitute a fire hazard and must
be removed as soon as they are detected.
WARNING!
If
an oil, fuel or coolant leak is detected, the cause must
be investigated and the fault rectified before the engine
is started.
Never direct the jet from a high-pressure washer at
seals, rubber hoses or electrical components. Never
use the high pressure setting for engine cleaning.
Drive Belt, Check and Change
WARNING!
Stop the engine before doing any maintenance work.
General
Check
belt tensions and condition regularly. A belt that
is tensioned too tightly may damage bearings, while a
belt too-loosely tensioned may slip.
Check and adjust the belt after operation, while the belt
is still warm.
