5. MAINTENANCE AND CARE 5.1. Periodical Inspection and Maintenance In order to insure maximum, trouble-free engine performance at all times, regular inspection, adjustment and maintenance are vital. Daily inspections in below figure should be checked every day. The maintenance should be executed thoroughly at regular internals. (refer to appendix “General Engine Inspection Cycle”.) 5.2. Lubrication System 5.2.1. Exchanging of lubrication oil Engine oil and the oil filter are important factors affecting engine life. They affect ease of starting, fuel economy, combustion chamber deposits and engine wear.
At the end of the break-in period 1,000km (50hours), change the oil sump oil and replace the oil filter cartridge. 5.2.2. Oil level gauge Check the oil level in the engine sump daily with a oil level gauge. The notches in oil level gauge must indicate the oil level between the max. and the min. permissible. The oil level should be checked with the engine horizontal and only after it has been shut down for about 5 minutes. Examining the viscosity and the EA4O4001 contamination of the oil smeared at the oil level gauge replace the engine oil if necessary. Caution : Do not add so much engine oil that the oil level rises above the max. marking on the oil level gauge.
Over lifting will result in damage to the engine. - 103 - MAINTENANCE AND CARE
