2. PERIODIC INSPECTION
Periodic maintenance is vital to the safe and efficient operation
of your engine.
Check the table below for periodic maintenance intervals.
Should the engine be operated in extremely dusty condition
or in heavier loading condition, the maintenance intervals must
be shortened depending on the contamination of oil, clogging
of filter elements, wear of parts, and so on.
(3) Refer to page 5 for the recommended oil.
■
Always use the best grade and clean oil. Contaminated
oil, poor quality oil and shortage of oil cause damage to
engine or shorten the engine life.
