INSPECTION PRIOR TO OPERATION

Check Engine Oil
Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the compactor is
located on a stable level surface.
Do not thread the gauge into oil filler to check oil level. If the oil
level is below the lower level line on the dipstick, refill with the
proper oil to the upper level (to the neck of oil filler). See
SECTION – MAINTENANCE,
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE".
Check Engine for Fuel
WARNING
Do not refuel while smoking near an open flame or other
potential hazards.
"50 HOUR OR WEEKLY
Cleaning Air Cleaner
Check Air Cleaner to be sure it is clean and not contaminated.
If it needs cleaned perform the following steps:
• Remove the wing nut, air cleaner cover, outer urethane foam
element and inner paper element.
• Wash the foam element in a household cleaner and warm
water.
• Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
• Saturate the foam element in engine oil and squeeze out the
excess oil.
• Tap the inner paper element lightly on a hard surface or blow
out with compressed air from the inside.
• Do not use a brush to clean the element.
• Wipe out the air cleaner cover with a clean damp cloth and
reassemble the air cleaner.
Do not run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine
wear will result.
If the air cleaner element is seriously contaminated engine
start up may fail or poor output and malfunctions of the
engine may result.
Check each part for lose or broken Bolts and Nuts
Tighten loose bolts and nuts, if any. Check each part for fuel or
oil leak. Replace broken or damaged parts, if any, with new
ones.
