Cleaning Radiator And Screen

To prevent the engine from overheating, the screen and
radiator must be kept clean. Normally, check the screen and
radiator daily and, if necessary, clean any debris off these
parts. However, it will be necessary to check and clean the
screen and radiator frequently in extremely dusty and dirty
conditions.
Note: If engine shuts off due to overheating, first check the
radiator and screen for excessive buildup of debris.
To thoroughly clean the radiator:
1. Remove the screen.
2. Working from the fan side of the radiator, either spray
the radiator with a water hose or blow with compressed
air.
3. After the radiator is thoroughly cleaned, clean out
debris that may have collected in the channel at the
radiator base.
4. Clean and install the screen.

Changing Engine Oil And Filter

Check oil level after each day's operation or each time
machine is used. Change oil and filter after first 50 hours
and after every 100 hours of operation thereafter. If
possible, run engine just before changing oil because warm
oil flows better and carries more contaminants than cold
oil.
1. Position machine on a level surface.
2. Set drain pan under the oil pan and in line with drain
plug (Fig. 30).

catalog for part number.

oil that is spilled.

Servicing Fuel System

Fuel Tank
Drain and clean fuel if tank becomes contaminated or
machine is to be stored for an extended period. Use clean
solvent to flush out the tank.
Fuel Lines and Connections
Check lines and connections every 400 hours or yearly,
whichever comes first. Inspect for deterioration, damage or
loose connections.
Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel filter after every 200 hours or yearly,
whichever comes first.
1. Clamp both fuel lines that connect to fuel filter (Fig. 32)
so gasoline cannot drain when lines are removed.
2. Loosen hose clamps (Fig. 32) at each end of filter, pull
fuel lines off and discard filter.
