CHANGE THE OIL FILTER: Change the oil filter the
first time after 50 hours of operation. Then, under nor-
mal operating conditions, change the oil filter after
every 750 hours of operation. If the engine is operated
under heavy load or in high ambient temperatures,
change the oil filter more frequently. See Table D.1 for
recommended maintenance intervals. Order Deutz oil
filter #117-4416 or #117-4417 from your local Deutz
service center.
Change the oil filter as follows:
1 . Drain the oil from the engine and allow the oil filter
to drain.
2. Remove the old filter (spin it off) and discard it.
Wipe off the filter mounting surface and adapter.
3. Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on
the new oil filter
4. Spin the new filter onto the mounting adapter finger
tight until the gasket is evenly seated. Then turn it
down another 1/2 turn. Do not overtighten the new
filter.
5. Refill the engine with the proper amount and type
of oil as described in the
Change the Oil
section,
above. Start the engine and check for leaks
around the filter element. Correct any leaks (usu-
ally by retightening the filter, but only enough to
stop leaks) before placing the Classic II back in
service.
6. If there are no leaks, stop the engine and recheck
the oil level. If necessary, add oil to bring the level
up to the upper dash mark, but do not overfill.
FUEL: At the end of each day's use, refill
the fuel tank to minimize moisture conden-
sation and dirt contamination in the fuel
line. Do not overfill; leave room for the fuel
to expand.
Refer to your engine operation manual for recom-
mended grade of fuel.
