Ensure that the Safety Information, Warnings, and Instructions are read and understood before operation or maintenance procedures are performed.

In order to determine the maintenance interval, use the value that occurs first: fuel consumption , service hours , or calendar time .

Before each consecutive interval is performed, all of the maintenance requirements from the previous interval must also be performed.

The normal oil change interval is every 500 service hours or 12 months. Be sure to conduct controlled oil sampling at every 250 service hours or 6 months. The oil change interval may need to be reduced for some applications based on the controlled oil sampling results. Verify the proper oil change interval for the engine after satisfactory completion of the controlled oil sampling.
