GENERAL
Follow a definite schedule of inspection and ser-
vicing,
based on operating hours (Table 5). Keep an
accurate logbook of maintenance, servicing, and
operating time. Use the running time meter (optional
equipment) to keep a record of operation and ser-
vicing.
Service periods outlined in Table 5 are
recommended for normal service and operating
con-
ditions. For continuous duty, extreme temperature,
etc., service more frequently. For infrequent use, light
duty, etc., service periods can be lengthened accor-
dingly. Referto John Deere engine manual fordetails
of engine service and maintenance procedures.

WARNING .
on the engine, generator, control panel,
automatic transfer switch or associated wiring, disconnect
batteries. Failure to do so could result in damage to the unit or
serious personal injury in the event of inadvertent starting.
When changing oil filters, it is important that
the replacement filter is a bypass type. Failure
lo use a bypass filler could cause the filter material to rupture
during heavy pressures on cold starts, resulting in non-filtered oil
and subsequent engine damage.
