5.1. Maintenance Instructions

1. Drain and replace the hydraulic oil after the first 5 hours of use.
2. After the first replacement of the hydraulic oil, check the hydraulic oil level periodically (every 10
to 20 hours of operation).
3. Refer to the Honda Engine manual for engine maintenance instructions, including the required
frequency of engine oil changes. There is a low oil sensor on the engine; if the oil level drops too
low, the engine will shut off and will not start.
4. Before each use, check engine oil levels and check for hydraulic oil leaks. Restore fluids to
required levels before use.
5. Before each use, check for loose or missing screws, frayed cables or wires, frayed kill-switch cord
or loose knots, and loose connections to the Propeller Control Board. Repair before use.
6. If the tire pressure needs to be adjusted, remove the plug from the side of the hub, install a
valve stem extension, and adjust the tire pressure. After the tire pressure has been adjusted,
remove the valve stem extension and replace the plug.
7. When storing or transporting the QUADROVER, first disconnect the battery or remove the fuse.
