ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Refer to the engine manual included in your parts packet
for information on engine maintenance. Your engine manual
provides detailed information and a maintenance schedule
for performing the following tasks:
1. Check oil level every five (5) operating hours and before
each use.
2. Change oil after first two (2) operating hours and every
25 operating hours thereafter, more often if operated in
extremely dusty or dirty conditions. Change oil while
engine is still warm from recent running.
3. Frequently remove dirt and debris from cooling fins, air
intake screen, levers and linkage. This will help ensure
adequate cooling and correct engine speed.
4. Check air cleaner.
5. Check spark plug yearly or every 100 operating hours.
6. Check engine and auger often for loose nuts and bolts.
