MAINTENANCE
Before servicing or making adjustments to machine, stop engine and remove key from ignition.
Use all procedures and parts prescribed by the manufacturer's. Read the engine manual
before operation.
The suggested maintenance checklist is not offered as a replacement for the manufacturer’s but as a supple-
ment. You must adhere to guidelines established by manufacturer for warranty coverage. In adverse conditions
such as dirt, mud or extreme temperatures, maintenance should be more frequent.
LUBRICATION
Use No. 2 General purpose Lithium Base Grease and lubricate every 100 hours. The Diesel Super Rake has two
grease fittings. One is located in bearing on steering shaft and the other is on the relay on the foot pedal.
AIR CLEANER ON FENDER
1. Remove end cap and filter element, clean by tapping gently on flat surface. Do not oil cartridge. Replace if
very dirty or damaged.
2. Remove air cleaner cap and clean. Cap can be washed in solvent, make sure its dry before reinstalling.
TIRE PRESSURE
Caution must be used when inflating a low tire to recommended pressure. Over inflating can cause tires to ex-
plode. Tires should be 5 psi (0.35 bar). Improper inflation will reduce tire life considerably.
COOLANT
Use the Permanent (PT) antifreeze for this engine. IMPORTANT: When the antifreeze is mixed with water, the
antifreeze mixing ratio must be less than 50%.
