PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
EWA12980
The engine, muffler and engine oil are ex-
tremely hot.
4. Install:
• Oil pressure gauge joint 18 mm “1”
• Oil pressure switch joint bolt “2”
5. Install:
• Oil pressure gauge “1”
• Adapter C “2”
6. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes.
NOTICE
ECA13410
When the engine is cold, the engine oil will
have a higher viscosity, causing the engine
oil pressure to increase. Therefore, be sure
to measure the engine oil pressure after
warming up the engine.
7. Measure:
• Engine oil pressure
(at the following conditions)
Out of specification → Check.
8. Remove:
• Oil pressure gauge
• Adapter C
• Oil pressure switch joint bolt
• Oil pressure switch joint (with the O-ring)
9. Install:
• O-ring “1”
• Oil pressure switch joint (with the oil pressure
switch) “2”
• Oil pressure switch joint bolt “3”
