GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard. In order for the equipment to operate safely and properly
over a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary. NEVER perform routine
service (oil/filter changes, cleaning, etc.) unless all electrical components are shut off. Before servicing the unit,
always follow the instructions listed below.
Ensure the Control Power switch is turned to the OFF (O) position.
Ensure the circuit breakers are open, in the OFF (O) position.
Activate (push in) the emergency stop switch.
Disconnect the negative (-) terminal on the battery.
Attach a "Do Not Start" sign to the control panel. This will notify everyone that the unit is being serviced and
will reduce the chance of someone inadvertently trying to start the unit.
Never wash the unit with a high pressure hose or with any kind of power washer.
Never wash the engine block or fuel tank with a power washer or steam cleaner. Water may enter the cabinet
