opening. Wait for all moving parts to stop
before removing clogs or servicing.
OS6610
OL4690
ONLY use clean-out tool to clear blockages.
NEVER use your hands.
2.6 PREPARATION
Before starting any removal of parts, proper
preparation is very important for efficient work. A clean
work area at the start of each job will allow you to
perform service repairs easily and quickly.
To reduce the incidence of misplaced tools or parts,
place removed components with all attaching hardware
in the disassembly order on a clean work surface.
Organization is a key part of proper reassembly.
Tools, instruments, and parts needed for the job should
be gathered before work is started. Interrupting a job to
locate tools or parts is a needless delay.
2.7 SERVICE POSITION
WARNING: ALWAYS block wheels and know
that jack stands or blocks used are stable,
strong, secure and will hold the weight of the
unit during maintenance.
To ensure the unit is positioned in the proper service
position place unit on a flat level surface. ALWAYS
stop engine. Assure unit is secure and will not tip over.
Strap and clamp onto lift if used.
See Service Position in General Maintenance for
specific instructions.
2 - 7
2.8 CLEANING AND STORAGE
WARNING: AVOID SHARP EDGES which
can cut. Movement o f pa rts ca n cut of f f ingers
or a hand. Wear gloves, and use extreme
caution when servicing.
IMPORTANT: Never spray unit with water or store unit
outdoors to help prevent sealed bearing rust or
corrosion. Water can seep into sealed bearings and
reduce component life. Bearings are sealed against dirt
and debris only.
A unit that is excessively dirty should be cleaned
before work starts. Cleaning will occasionally uncover
trouble sources. Dirt and abrasive dust reduce the
efficient work life of parts and can lead to costly
replacement.
When taking unit out of extended storage:
1. Check for any damage or loose parts. Repair,
replace, or tighten hardware before operation.
2. If a preservative fluid was used in fuel tank, drain
and discard. Fill fuel tank with fresh new fuel.
