HYDRAULIC MOTOR & FLUID PUMP SERVICE
See Page 22 for maintenance and service instructions on the reci-
procating hydraulic motor and Page 26 for the fluid pump.
BASIC ENGINE MAINTENANCE
• For detailed engine maintenance and technical specifications
refer to the separate Kawasaki engine manual.
• All service to the engine should be performed by an authorized
Kawasaki Power Equipment dealer. To locate a dealer in your
area, look in the Yellow Pages of your telephone directory under
Gasoline Engines, Garden & Lawn Equipment & Supplies,
Lawnmowers, etc.
• The Kawasaki engine is warranted exclusively by Kawasaki
Heavy Industries, Ltd.
• Use a premium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S.
Automotive requirement SC, SD, SE, OR SF. SAE 10W30 is rec-
ommended for general all temperature use. Other viscosities may
be required in other climates.
• Use only a (NGK) BP5ES or BPR6E spark plug. Gap the plug to
0.027 to 0.031 In. (0.7 to 0.8 mm) Always use a spark plug
wrench.
DAILY: Check engine oil level. Fill as necessary. Check gasoline
level. Fill as necessary.
WARNING: FOLLOW FUELING PROCEDURE ON PAGE 10
FIRST 20 HOURS: Change engine oil.
EVERY 100 HOURS: Change engine oil.
WEEKLY: Remove the air filter cover and clean the element. In
very dusty environments, check the filter daily. Replace the ele-
ment as needed. Replacement elements can be purchased from
your local Honda dealer.
ENGINE OPERATION AND SERVICE
1. Clean and oil air filter pad on gasoline engine every 25 hours or
once weekly. Do not permit the air intake screen around the fly
wheel of the gas engine to load up with paint or trash. Clean it reg-
ularly. The service life and efficiency of the gas engine model
depends upon keeping the gasoline engine running properly.
Change the oil in the engine every 100 hours. Failure to observe
this may result in engine overheating. Consult the engine manufac-
turer's service manual provided.
2. To conserve fuel, service life, and efficiency of the unit always
operate the gasoline engine at the lowest RPM at which it runs
smoothly without laboring and delivers the amount required for the
particular painting operation. Higher RPM does not produce higher
working pressure. The gasoline engine is connected to the
hydraulic pump by a pulley combination designed to produce full
paint delivery of 1.0 GPM at 3600 RPM.
3. The warranty on gasoline engines or electric motors is limited to
the original manufacturer.
