ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Please read the maintenance schedule and observe
these recommendations to extend the life of your engine.
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical,
and trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce air
pollution. To help you properly care for your engine, the
following pages include a maintenance schedule, rou-
tine inspection procedures, and simple maintenance
procedures using basic hand tools. Other service tasks
that are more difficult, or require special tools, are best
handled by professionals and are normally performed
by a technician or other qualified mechanic.
Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individuals.
However, items must be serviced by an authorized
dealer to obtain "no charge" emissions control service.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating
conditions. If you operate your engine under unusual
conditions, such as sustained high-load or high-tem-
perature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty
conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommen-
dations applicable to your individual needs and use.
