disabling any two way communication. Discon-
nect the high voltage source and lockout/tagout

not only directs the oil over the door latch pin
bracket and bottom panel, on units so equipped,
but also holds a typical drain bucket in place

c. To Change Engine Oil Filter:
1. If not continuing from preceding step b., warm
up the engine and then stop it by placing the
STOP/ RUN-OFF switch in the OFF position.
Ensure the unit will not start automatically by
disabling any two way communication. Discon-
nect the high voltage source and lockout/tagout

NOTICE
When changing oil filter, the new filter
should be primed (partially filled) with
clean oil if possible. If the filter is not
primed, the engine may operate for a
period with no oil supplied to the bearings.
3. Lightly oil gasket on new filter before installing.
Tighten 3/4 to 1 turn after the seal makes con-
tact.
4. Start unit and check for leaks.

Air Cleaner
The air cleaner should be inspected regularly for leaks.
A damaged air cleaner or hose can seriously affect the
performance and life of the engine. The air cleaner is
designed to effectively remove contaminants from the
air stream entering the engine. An excessive accumu-
lation of these contaminants in the air cleaner will
impair its operation; therefore, a service schedule must
be set up and followed.
