MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION: Running combustion engines in confined areas CAN KILL IN MINUTES. Engine
exhaust fumes contain carbon-monoxide – a deadly gas that you cannot smell or see. NEVER run a
combustion engine in confined areas EVEN IF windows and doors are open. ONLY run combustion
engines OUTDOORS and away from doors, windows and vents.
Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition sources.
• Do not have the engine running during inspection and maintenance unless specifically required.
• The engine should be cool enough to touch before performing maintenance activities.
• Some maintenance activities described may be beyond the scope of some users. For procedures
that you are not comfortable with or have the tools or experience for, have the unit serviced by a
service centre or qualified technician.
Regular checks and maintenance are required to maintain optimum engine performance. Proper care and maintenance
ensure the best performance and the longest service life of the machine.
The maintenance schedule below specifies the preventive maintenance checks and maintenance tasks required, and
the frequency with which they should be carried out. The program applies to multiple engines, and since some
engines may not include some of the components, maintenance of those components will not be applicable.
ATTENTION: Harsh operating environments such as extreme temperatures, dust etc may
necessitate more frequent maintenance.
•
Maintenance frequencies are based on general factors including a maximum usage of
approximately 300 hours per year. Use common sense when following the maintenance
schedule based on your actual use of the product.
•
Keep reasonable records of maintenance activities for your reference. Failure to comply with the
maintenance program, use of incorrect or incompatible accessories or spare parts, or general
negligence may result in the invalidation of the product warranty.
