SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE QUICK REFERENCE:
Before performing any maintenance, ALWAYS park the machine on a level surface with the engine "OFF" and
the engine switch set in the "OFF" position. Let the machine cool down! Other maintenance and repairs
should only be carried out by a qualifi ed technician.
SERVICE DAILY:
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Check blade guard for damage.
3. Check engine air fi lter, replace if dirty. Service sooner
if used in dusty conditions.
4. Clean machine daily.
Replacing Engine Air Filter (S):
If the engine seems weak, produces black smoke or runs
unevenly, the air filter may be clogged. For this reason,
it is important to clean and replace the air filter regularly.
Check engine manual for detailed instructions.
The filter must not be cleaned with compressed air,
this will damage the filter. Filters can be vacuumed out
for cleaning but avoid hitting or dragging items across
the surface as this will damage the filter.
Paper filters are to be disposed of correctly and
replaced.
A polyester filter can be cleaned via vacuuming or low
pressure washing.
Do not use high pressure washing, this will damage the
filter.
A damaged filter must always be replaced.
A washed filter must be 100% dry before being placed
back onto the equipment.
