CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
Before servicing the machine, turn off engine and allow all moving parts to stop.
Disconnect the battery cables to prevent accidental starting of the machine. Tag

tagout procedure (29 CFR 1910.147).
AFTER FIRST 4 TO 8 HOURS OF OPERATION:
1. Check and adjust clutch.
2. Torque wheel lugs. Torque again after 7 days (Trailer option only).
DAILY CLEAN-UP MAINTENANCE:
Follow this procedure daily to keep the equipment in good operating condition:
1. Clean the air cleaner following the instructions in the engine operator’s manual.
2. Check air cleaner connections. If they loosen or become disconnected, the warranty on
your engine is subject to cancellation.
3. Clean radiator and radiator guard with tap water.
Never use high-pressure water or compressed air at greater than
28 psi (193 kPa; 19686 mmHg) or a wire brush to clean the radiator fi ns.

hours and every 250 hours thereafter.
2. Change engine oil filter cartridge with every oil change.
3. Lubricate bearings with general-purpose chassis lubricant, using a grease gun. Wipe each
bearing before lubrication to remove dirt and prevent overheating.
4. Inflate tires to the pressure indicated on the sidewalls and trailer data plate.

Perform maintenance only while engine is off. Failure to comply could
result in minor to moderate personal injury. Failure to comply could
also result in product or property damage.
