Oil (daily)
Remove the dipstick N and check that the oil level
reaches the full mark. If necessary, top off with fresh oil.
To obtain the correct oil level, the machine must be
level. See engine manufacturer’s manual for proper oil
viscosity and grade. DO NOT OVER FILL!
AFTER THE FIRST 5 WORKING HOURS
While the engine is warm, remove the drain plug and
drain the crankcase. Replace oil filter U. Clean and
replace the plug. Fill the crankcase through the filler
hole with fresh oil to the full mark. See engine
manufacturers manuals for oil and filter change
intervals.
Cooling Fins and Air Intake screen (daily)
Ensure that the cooling fins and air intake screen W
are cleaned daily. Continued operation with a
clogged cooling system will cause severe
overheating and result in engine damage.

element with a precleaner element. Both should be
inspected regularly and maintained.

often under dusty conditions).

Rinse with screen side up allowing dirt and
debris to filter out. Leave filter to dry overnight
before reinstalling.
5. Clean base of air cleaner cartridge area carefully
to prevent debris from entering engine.
6. Place pre-cleaner and cartridge into blower
housing. Cartridge must fit securely in base.
