MAINTENANCE

5. Install clamps on fuel line.
6. Start engine and inspect for leaks.
7. Remove clamps
COMPRESSION TEST
NOTE: This 4-Stroke engine is equipped with an
automatic decompressor. Compression readings will vary
in proportion to cranking speed during the test. Average
compression (measured) is about 90 psi
during a
compression test.
Smooth idle generally indicates good compression. Low engine
compression is rarely a factor in running condition problems
above idle speed. Abnormally high compression can be caused
by a decompressor malfunction, or worn or damaged exhaust
cam lobes. Inspect camshaft and automatic decompression
mechanism if compression is abnormally high.
A cylinder leakage test is the best indication of engine
condition on models with automatic decompression. Follow
tester manufacturer’s instructions to perform a cylinder leakage
test. (Never use high pressure leakage testers as crankshaft
seals may dislodge and leak).
ENGINE MOUNTS
Inspect rubber engine mounts for cracks or damage.
ENGINE FASTENER TORQUE
Check engine fasteners and ensure they are tight
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
NOTE: All Hawkeye batteries are Low Maintenance
design and construction. All Low Maintenance
batteries are fully charged and tested at the factory
before installation. Expected shelf life is 6-8 months
depending on storage conditions. As a general rule
before placing the battery into service, check the
battery condition and charge accordingly.
Low Maintenance batteries are permanently sealed at the time
of manufacture. The use of lead-calcium and AGM technology
instead of lead-antimony allows the battery acid to be fully
absorbed. For this reason, a Low Maintenance battery case is
dark and the cell caps are not removable, since there is no need
to check electrolyte level.
NEVER attempt to add electrolyte or water to a Low
Maintenance battery. Doing so will damage the case and
shorten the life of the battery. Refer to the Battery Maintenance
Video (PN 9917987) for proper instruction on servicing Low
Maintenance batteries.

WARNING
Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains sulfuric
acid. Serious burns can result from contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Antidote:
External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Fol-
low with milk of magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable
oil. Call physician immediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get
prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks,
flame, cigarettes, etc. away. Ventilate when charg-
ing or using in an enclosed space. Always shield
eyes when working near batteries. KEEP OUT OF
REACH OF CHILDREN.
