Performing Scheduled Maintenance
It is important to perform maintenance as specified in the
Service Schedule
Engine oil and oil filter must be changed, and valve clear-
ance adjusted after the first 25 hours of operation.
The controller will prompt for Schedule A or Schedule B
maintenance to be performed. Schedule A maintenance
consists of the oil, oil filter, and battery check. Schedule B
maintenance includes the oil, oil filter, battery check, air
cleaner, spark plug(s), and valve clearance.
Since most maintenance alerts will occur at the same
time (most have two year intervals), only one will appear
on the control panel display at a time. Once the first alert
is cleared, the next active alert will be displayed.
