2.2 Engine Oil & Filter
Check the oil level every 8 hours of operation. Add oil as necessary. See the engine
manual for oil viscosity and grade recommendations.
IMPORTANT! During initial break-in, change the oil and the
oil filter after the first 50 hours and every 150-200 hours
thereafter. Continue to check oil level every 8 hours of
operation and refill as necessary.
NOTE: Engine in factory is filled with 10W/40 Shell Helix HX7, semi-synthetic oil.
2.3 Cooling System
Brush off sawdust and debris every 50 hours of operation. Clean the grass screen,
cooling fins, and external surfaces. Remove any dust, dirt or oil. See engine manual for
further instructions.
2.4 Air Cleaner
Empty the air debris collector every 8 hours of operation.
Open the air filter intake cover by loosing latches and remove all debris and dust. After all
debris has been emptied close the cover.
WARNING! Always wear proper and necessary safety
equipment when performing service functions. Proper
safety equipment includes eye protection, breathing protec-
tion, hand protection and foot protection.
Replace the outer air cleaner cartridge and check the inner cartridge every 250 hours of
operation or more often if operating the sawmill in dirty conditions or if engine perfor-
mance indicates a new cartridge is necessary.
CAUTION! Do not clean elements with water or com-
pressed air. Do not handle the inner element unless it is to
be changed. Handle new elements carefully. Contact with
the element could cause damage and prevent the filter from
operating properly.
Replace the inner air cleaner cartridge every 1200 hours of operation or more often if
operating the sawmill in dirty conditions.
