Maintenance

WARNING

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries.
Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings.
Always stop the unit and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop before:

  • Removing obstructions

  • Clearing debris

  • Servicing the unit

Allow unit to cool before performing service.
Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and hot surfaces.


WARNING

Operating a poorly maintained unit can result in serious injuries to operator or bystanders.
Always follow all maintenance instructions as written, otherwise serious personal injury can result.


Your unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble-free service.

  • Regular scheduled maintenance will help your unit achieve that goal.

  • If you are unsure or not equipped with the necessary tools, we recommend that you take your unit to a Servicing Dealer for maintenance.

  • To help you decide whether you want to DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the Dealer do it, each maintenance task has been graded.

  • If the task is not listed, see your Dealer for repairs.


Skill Levels

  • Level 1 = Easy to do. Common tools may be required.

  • Level 2 = Moderate difficulty. Some specialized tools may be required.
