MAINTENANCE Maintenance Schedule Daily before starting Maintenance Maintenance interval - hours 5 25 50 Check the engine oil level Replace engine oil 1) Check the air filter Clean the air filter 2) Replace the spark plug Check decals and warning signs Check blade wear and condition Check the chassis, bolts and set screws 1) First change after 5 hours. 2) In dusty conditions maintenance is required at shorter intervals.
MAINTENANCE General Recommendations Storage Once a year, replace the spark plug and air filter. A new spark plug and air filter assures proper air/ fuel mixture and helps the engine run better and last longer. Change the oil after the first five hours of operation. Then, under normal operating conditions, change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or after every season, whichever occurs first. In high ambient temperatures or in dusty conditions, the oil should be changed more often.
