3. MAINTENANCE 3.1 Periodic Maintenance Schedule Daily After First 20 Hours Every 50 Hours Every 100 Hours Every 200 Hours Starting Check Loosened of Lost Screws Damaged to Parts Control System Functioning Exciter Oil Check Exciter Oil Replacement V-Belt (Clutch) Check Leakage of Oil Fuel Tightness of Fastening Threads Engine Oil Check and Replenishment Engine Oil Replenishment Air Filter Cleaning These inspection intervals are meant for operation under normal conditions.
3.3 V-Belt and Clutch 3.3.1 Checking the V-Belt After 200 hours of operation, remove the upper belt cover to check the V-belt tension (Figure 2). Tension is best if the belt bends about 0.4 in when depressed firmly with finger between grooves. Loose or worn V-belts reduce power transmission efficiency, causing weak compaction, reducing the life of the belt itself. NEVER attempt to check the V-belt while the engine is running. Severe injury can occur if your hand is caught between the V-belt and the clutch.
3.4 Air Filter 1. The air filter element should be cleaned as a clogged air filter can cause poor engine starting, lack of power, and shortened engine life. 2. To clean or replace the air filter, loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing (Figure 1), remove the cover and take out air filter cartridge. If only cleaning of the air filter is needed, blow through the air filter cartridge from the inside, with a jet of dry compressed air, up and down until all dust is removed. 3.
3.7 Troubleshooting 3.7.1 Machine Troubleshooting SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION Travel speed too low, and the Engine speed too slow? Set engine speed to correct RPM. Clutch slips? Check or replace clutch. vibration is weak. V-belt slips? Adjust or replace V-belt. Excessive oil in vibration? Malfunction in vibrator housing? Drain excess oil and fill to proper level.
