Maintenance
WARNING: Before attempting any maintenance procedures on the machine, close the service
valve on the fuel cylinder and stop the engine.
Repairs and adjustments to the fuel system must be made by an authorized, properly trained service technician.
To keep the machine in good working condition, simply follow the daily, weekly and monthly maintenance
procedures.
Keeping the machine clean and free from accumulated dust, lint and oil allows free air flow across the engine
to cool properly. Always use clean recoil dust filters. These can be cleaned by washing them in a flow of
water and shaking them dry. Extra filters may be ordered from Eagle Solutions at 800.633.0519. Keep a log
book of maintenance and/or repairs.
Daily Maintenance - (every four hours of operation)
Check oil level (use 10W30 or SAE30 oil only).
Check recoil dust filter.
Check and clean carburetor air filter.
Check belt tension by pinching belt together. Belt should deflect only ½” (13 mm).
Make sure all components (pad holder, fuel cylinder, etc.) are secure and tight.
Check pad holder and pad daily (clean or replace).
Clean machine. If compressed air is available, blow dust from machine and engine, concentrating on
the inside of engine shrouds. Wash undercarriage.
Clean dust collection bag.
CAUTION: Care should be taken to make sure engine is cool before water is used to prevent warping and
other damage.
Weekly Maintenance – (every 20 to 50 hours of operation)
All Daily Maintenance services.
Change oil and oil filters at 50 hours of service. Use 10W30 or SAE30 motor oil. Use of non-
recommended oil may void the engine warranty (see engine owner’s manual).
Check for loose nuts and/or bolts on entire machine.
Examine all propane fuel components for leaks or wear. Replace if necessary.
• Grease wheels. Use one pump only of white lithium grease. More grease than recommended may
push the seals and dust covers out, allowing dust and other foreign materials to penetrate the bearings,
thus shortening their life, as well as allowing grease to drop from the wheels to the floor.
Monthly Maintenance – (every 80 hours of operation)
Perform all Daily and Weekly Maintenance services.
Consult engine owner’s manual for the following:
o Torque head bolts.
o Check valve clearance.
o Torque valve cover bolts.
o Inspect spark plugs. Replace if necessary.
o Remove engine shroud and clean cooling fins.
