PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES
Perform the following maintenance after the initial
50 hours of operation.
• Check Battery
• Replace Engine Oil and Engine Oil Filter
• Drain Fuel Tank
• Clean Air Cleaner Element
Check Battery
• When the amount of fluid nears the lower limit
(Figure 1, (1)), fill with clean distilled water
(Figure 1, (2)) until the fluid is at the upper limit
(Figure 1, (3)). If operation continues with
insufficient battery fluid, the battery life is
shortened, and the battery may overheat and
explode. During the summer, check the fluid
level more often than specified.

• If the engine cranking speed is so slow that the
engine does not start, recharge the battery.
