MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Neglecting proper maintenance can cause premature
component failures.
Initial Start Up Maintenance
The initial start-up checks must be made before entering the engine into service.
Please refer to the Maintenance Schedule on page 26 and perform the initial start-
up operations in the sequence shown in column 1.
Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance provides the best solution for making sure that the engine is
ready when you are. The following are some routine service points:
• Keep the fuel tank filled. A full tank of fuel reduces the possibility of condensation
forming in the fuel tank and moisture entering the fuel system.
• Make frequent checks for engine oil, fuel and coolant leaks
• Repair any oil, fuel or coolant leaks
• Check battery condition and cables frequently clean as necessary
• Keep the engine air filter and/or spark arrestor clean
• Monitor engine coolant temperature
• Monitor engine oil pressure and fuel pressure.
• Check voltmeter and charging system
• Lubricate Drive Shaft universal joints as described in scheduled preventive maintenance
section (some applications)
Knowing normal gauge values will help you determine abnormal conditions.
Maintenance Schedule
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule on page 26 to ensure that all of the
