MAINTENANCE
VI. ENGINE
A. Refer to engine manufacturer's owners manual and
comply completely with the lubrication instructions.
Any evidence of under lubrication will make a claim
against the manufacturer invalid.
B. Keep a good service log on each machine with the
date, hour meter reading, type(s) of service
performed and the name of the person who
performed them. This will assist you and Aztec in
spotting weaknesses in our respective areas of
responsibility. A standard maintenance log is available
at any stationary store.
VII. TROUBLESHOOTING THE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A. First, check all wire connections for obvious problems.
Remove LPG tank, then remove battery box cover.
Check all connections visibly and physically. If any
"loose", damaged or unconnected wires are noticed,
contact Aztec and/or put wires back in their proper place.
B. Always wear a face shield, safety glasses and protective
clothing when working around a battery!! The gases
can be explosive and the acid is highly corrosive to
metals, cloth and ALL HUMAN TISSUE (skin, eyes,
etc.) If the battery post(s) are corroded, remove the
wires and clean posts and wires well. You may wish
to put some axle grease on the posts or the battery
after they are cleaned. This will slow down the battery
corrosion process.
IF NOTHING OBVIOUS IS NOTED, A MORE DETAILED
INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED. BEFORE ANY SUCH
TROUBLE SHOOTING BEGINS, THE FOLLOWING
THINGS SHOULD BE DONE:
1. Replace propane (LPG) tank with one from a machine
that runs.
2. Charge the battery or provide an absolute source of
12 volt DC power capable of 50 amperes total output.
(A pair of good jumper cables from your car or truck
battery will suffice.)
3. Equip yourself with an inexpensive 12 volt test light.
4. If the trouble seems to be in the electrical control
equipment, you may wish to disconnect the starter
from the system so as to check the system without
spinning the engine.
VIII. ENGINE MAINTENANCE METER
A. This meter is used to perform preventive maintenance
which benefits you with increased fuel economy, less
down time and longer engine life. It is simple to
operate because of its functional and user friendly
design and has a function for every application which
are detailed as follows:
HOUR METER: Records actual running time of
engine. Non-erasable.
JOB TIMER: An erasable, independent timer. A
perfect accessory for job costing and billing purposes.
SERVICE ALARM: Makes setting your own
service interval a snap. Display flashes when
service interval is reached. Helps you perform
preventive maintenance (oil & filter changes,
lubrication and cleaning, etc.) within
manufacturers' recommendations.
TACHOMETER: Tells you what R.P.M. your engine
is running at for maximum power and efficiency.
Reads up to 6,000 R.P.M.
IX. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. Push and release mode button to advance to
next function.
Hour meter-indicated by TOT TIME on display.
Is non-re-setable.
Tachometer-upon entering this function you will see
