Dry Cutting Engine Maintenance (Honda and Kohler)

 When operating the engine in dry cutting or dusty environments the following
is required:
 Engine oil changed more often.
 Every 50 hours (or more often if conditions require) clean all of the engine
cooling fins.
 Every 25 hours (or more often if conditions require) clean the engine pre-
cleaner.
 Every 100 hours (or more often if conditions require) replace the air filter. If
the engine is equipped with a reusable air cleaner, clean and re-oil it.
 Check and clean the air filter after each use. Replace as needed.
B. Bearings
Re lubrication type bearings must be relubricated weekly to assure long life.
The grease used should conform to the NLGI grade two and be free of any
chemical impurities such as free acid or free alkali, dust, rust, metal particles
or abrasives.
For best results, bearings should be relubricated while in operation. Note:
Due caution for personal safety must be observed when servicing
rotating equipment. The grease should be pumped in slowly until a slight
bead forms around the seals. This bead, in addition to acting as an
indicator of adequate relubrication, provides additional protection against
the entry of foreign matter. If necessary to relubricate while the bearing is
idle refer to relubrication table for maximum grease capacity for the various
size bearings.
