get long and efficient engine life. Regular service
periods are recommended for normal service and
operating conditions. For continuous duty, extreme
temperature, etc., service more frequently. For in¬
frequent use, light duty, etc., service periods can be
lengthened accordingly. Neglecting routine main¬
tenance can result in engine failure or permanent
damage.
For any abnormalities in operation, unusual noises
