WATER SEPARATOR
A water separator is used to remove water contamination from the fuel before it enters the
engine. Water contamination should be drained daily or before it becomes 1/2 full.
AIR CLEANER
Inspect the air cleaner and it’s connections for leaks, dents and damage.
A vacuum actuated indicator mounted on the air cleaner assembly indicates conditions of
restricted flow through the air cleaner. With the engine running at maximum governed rpm,
observe the yellow band on the indicator piston. If the yellow band reaches the red band on
the plastic cylinder, service is necessary. At this time, change the air cleaner filter element
and clean the intake screen.
When using a degreasing agent to clean the engine, be sure to cover the vacuum
actuated indicator (filter minder) with a protective material. Engine degreasing
solvents have a polycarbonate base and can damage or destroy the indicator.
Reset the filter indicator each time the hood is opened as it provides a built-in check to
assure proper functioning. If it does not reset then the orifice is plugged and must be cleaned.
A clogged filter restricts engine power output.
ENGINE BELTS
Check all engine belts for condition and proper adjustment. Consult the engine
manufacturer’s manual for the recommended belt tension and tensioning methods.
QUARTERLY
Drain accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank by removing the drain plug and
allowing the tank to drain until all water is removed and the fuel flowing from the tank is free
of sediment.
If a large amount of sediment has accumulated, drain the tank completely and flush liberally
with kerosene until all sediment has been removed. Allow the tank to drain completely
before refilling with fuel.
SEMI ANNUALLY
CRANKCASE BREATHER
Service the crankcase breather following the procedures given in the manufacturer’s manual.
