Periodic inspection and adjustment of the engine is essential if
high level performance is to be maintained. Regular maintenance
will also ensure a long service life. The required service intervals
and the kind of maintenance to be performed are described
in the table above. Follow the hourly or calendar intervals,
whichever occur first. More frequent service is required when
operating in adverse conditions.
WARNING!
Shut off the engine before performing
any maintenance. To prevent accidental start-up,
disconnect the spark plug boot.
NOTE: If engine must be tipped to transport equipment or to
inspect, keep the spark plug side of the engine up. Transporting
or tipping the engine spark plug side down may cause smoking,
hard starting, spark plug fouling, or oil saturation of air cleaner.
WARNING!
If the engine has been running, the
muffler will be very hot. Be careful not to touch the
muffler.
