The air cleaner assembly (F) is accessed on the top of the
engine. The air cleaner element should be replaced every 50
hours. Refer to the supplied engine manual and the “Heavy-
Duty Air Cleaner” for additional information.
Transmission oil
Check the transmission oil level daily. The transmission is ac-
cessible from the rear of the saw. The oil reservoir (G) located
on the top of the transmission has an oil level line 1/8” (3 mm)
from the bottom of the reservoir to indicate the proper uid
level when cold. Use hydraulic oil 20W with viscosity of 68 Mo-
bil DTE 26 or equivalent.
Transmission neutral
With the saw control lever pulled back towards the operator,
the saw should fully stop and not creep or move. To adjust the
transmission neutral position, loosen the lock nut on the cable
end (H) at the transmission. Pull the spring sleeve back and
adjust the swivel until the saw fully stops moving. Tighten the
lock nut.
