PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Regularly scheduled maintenance is the key to lower operating costs and longer service life for the unit. Use the
following schedule as a guide. However, actual operating conditions under which a unit is run should be the
determining factor in establishing a maintenance schedule. When operating in very dusty or dirty conditions,
reduce some of the service periods. Check the condition of the crankcase oil, the filters, etc. frequently until you
can establish the proper service time periods.
For any abnormalities in operation, unusual noises from engine or accessories, loss of power, overheating, etc.,
contact your nearest dealer.
