Routine maintenance is necessary for all mechanized products. Periodic maintenance contributes to the
product’s life span. The following maintenance chart provides guidelines for engine maintenance and in-
spection scheduled to be performed by you and/or by an authorized DEALER. The schedule should be

The recommended lubricants have been formulated to protect bearings, gears and engine components.
