MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm by the following:
Refer to Figure 27.
1. Place an oil pan or suitable container below the engine drain
plug to catch the used oil.
2. Remove the filler cap/dipstick and the drain plug.
3. Drain the oil completely and reinstall the drain plug. Ensure
the drain plug is tightened securely.
Drive Belt
Refer to pages 17 to 18 of this manual for Drive Belt adjustment
procedures and Removal and Replacement procedures.
Figure 27. Engine Oil Change
Dispose of used oil properly.
DO NOT
pour used
oil on the ground, down a drain, or throw in the
trash. Used oil can generally be taken to your
local recycling center or service station for
reclamation.
4. Make sure the engine is in a level position and fill to the outer
edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil. (See
Table 5.) Engine oil capacity is 0.63 US quart (0.60 liter).
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage.
5. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
Chassis Lubrication
Regular lubrication of various components of the FCG16HA Saw
are critical to ensure a reasonable service life. Lubricate the
following components:
Two zerk fittings are located at the lower-front area of the saw.
Lubricate before daily use. Use a good quality automotive or
general purpose grease. Check and lubricate more often if unit
is under heavy use. Do not overfill bearings. Overfilling can
damage the grease seals which can result in bearing exposure
to dirt and contaminants which can then shorten the life of the
bearings. Excess grease can also drip onto the cutting surface.
