Inspecting the Rotor Blades

Service Interval: Yearly—Inspect the rotor blades and
have an Authorized Service Dealer
replace the rotor blades and scraper if
necessary.
Before each session, inspect the rotor blades for wear.
When a rotor blade edge has worn down to the wear
indicator hole, have an Authorized Service Dealer
replace the rotor blades and the scraper (Figure 26).

exposed; replace the rotor
blades and scraper.

Changing the Engine Oil

Service Interval: After the first 2 hours
Yearly
Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil
to warm it. Warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants.
1. Ensure that the fuel tank is not overfilled (refer to
Figure 12) and that the fuel cap is securely in place.
2. Move the machine to a level surface.
