Engine Oil Service
Engine Oil (Recommended)
Refer to engine operating manual supplied with machine.
Checking Engine Oil
Before checking the oil, make sure the engine is stopped
and resting on a level surface. Also, make sure the engine
is cool and the oil has had time to drain into the sump.
Bring the level up to, but not over, the full mark on the dip
stick. Always check the level before adding more oil.
CAUTION: Do not operate the engine above or below
marked area on the dip stick.
Changing Engine Oil
For a new engine, change oil after the first 5 hours of
operation, after that every 100 hours (50 if multi-viscosity
oil is used). Drain oil while the engine is warm from
operation. The oil will flow freely and carry away more
impurities. Drain oil as follows: Remove the oil drain plug
and oil fill cap. Dispose of the oil in a manner that meets
Local, State and Federal regulations. Reinstall the drain
plug. Make sure it is tightened securely. Be sure the
engine is level when filling and checking oil. Then fill with
new oil to the top line on the dipstick. Refer to engine
operating manual for proper type. Always check the level
on the dipstick before adding more oil. Reinstalled the oil
fill cap and make sure it is tightened securely.
Changing the Engine Oil Filter
Your Diesel is equipped with an oil filter. Replace the oil
filter, in accordance with the “Oil Change Intervals” table.
Always use a genuine OEM oil filter and replace as follows:
Drain crankcase oil, then remove old filter. Before installing
replacement filter, apply a thin coating of clean oil on the
surface of the rubber seal. Turn filter clockwise until rubber
seal contacts the filter adapter, then tighten filter an
additional 2/3 to 3/4 turn. Add an additional 1/2 pint of oil
for the filter capacity. Start the engine and check for oil
leakage.
Extended Engine Oil Change Intervals
NOTICE: Using other than the proper class oil or
extending oil change intervals longer than recommended
will cause engine damage which is not covered by the
engine warranty.
Engine Air Filter (Paper Element)
The diesel engines are equipped with a high-density paper
air cleaner element. The paper element should be replaced
every 100 hours. Do not wash or use pressurized air to
clean the paper element. Before installing new filter, be
sure to inspect it for damage and that it fits perfectly when
replaced.
General Considerations
These required maintenance procedures should be
performed at the frequency stated in the table. They should
also be included as part of any seasonal tune-up. Perform
these maintenance procedures more frequently when the
engine is operated under extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
Although your Terramite Street Sweeper is made of the
finest and most durable materials, it will only hold up if
given proper care. The maintenance procedures are very
simple and easy to do. We have also included space in the
back of this handbook for keeping a service record of your
machine.
IMPORTANT: See attached New Machine First
Service Schedule for items that should be checked or
serviced during the first 4 to 50 hours.

We also suggest that the air filter be checked weekly
in the event you are working in extremely dirty or dusty
conditions. The manufacturer’s air filter should be
used, or warranty may be denied. Otherwise, check
and clean monthly.
