[. . . ] COMMAND 6 HP OWNER'S MANUAL HORIZONTAL CRANKSHAFT 1 Safety Precautions To insure safe operations please read the following statements and understand their meaning. Also refer to your equipment owner's manual for other important safety information. This manual contains safety precautions which are explained below. WARNING Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the warning is ignored. [. . . ] Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the engine. Check for a buildup of dirt and debris around the air cleaner system. Also check for loose or damaged components. Replace all bent or damaged air cleaner components. NOTE: Operating the engine with loose or damaged air cleaner components could allow unfiltered air into the engine causing premature wear and failure. Service Precleaner Wash and reoil the precleaner every 25 hours of operation (more often under extremely dusty or dirty conditions). Loosen air cleaner cover retaining knob and remove the cover. Remove the precleaner from the paper element. Wash the precleaner in warm water with detergent. Rinse the precleaner thoroughly until all traces of detergent are eliminated. Squeeze out excess water (do not wring). Allow the precleaner to air dry. Change Oil For a new engine, change oil after the first 20 hours of operation. Thereafter, change oil after every 100 hours of operation. For an overhauled engine, use 10W-30 service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil for the first 5 hours of operation. Change the oil after this initial run-in period. Refill with service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specified in the Viscosity Grades table (Figure 2) on page 4. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow freely and carry away more impurities. Make sure the engine is level when filling, checking, or changing the oil. 9 4. Saturate the precleaner with new engine oil. Reinstall the precleaner over the paper element. Tighten the air cleaner cover retaining knob. [. . . ] service center as soon as a problem exists.
