PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE
Regularly scheduled maintenance lowers operating costs and lengthens the service life of the welder. Usethe
following schedule as a guide.
However, actual operating conditions under which a unit operates should be the determining factor in
establishing a maintenance schedule. When operating in very dusty or dirty conditions, some of the service
periods may have to be reduced. Check the condition of the crankcase oil, the filters, etc., frequently until the
proper service time periods can be established. j
For any abnormalities in operation, unusual noises from engine or accessories, loss of power, overheating,'
etc., contact your nearest Onan Service Center.
