Periodic Maintenance
7
Periodic Maintenance is essential to top
performance. Use Table 2 as a guide for
normal periodic maintenance. Under hot or
dusty operating conditions, some main-
tenance operations should be performed
more frequently, as indicated by the footnotes
in the table. Keep a log of maintenance
performed and the hours run. Recording
maintenance will help you maintain a regular
schedule and provide a basis for supporting
warranty claims. Maintenance, replacement
or repair of emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any engine
repair establishment or individual. However,
warranty work must be completed by an
authorized Linamar/Onan dealer or distributor
.
