SERVICE
WARNING Always engage the parking brake, shut off the pow - er unit engine, remove the ignition key, and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop before inspecting the components or attempting any repair or adjustment. ATTENTION Ventrac recommends that service of the power unit be performed by a qualified technician. If you are unsure how to perform the service procedure(s), contact your Ventrac dealer. ATTENTION If any component requires replacement, use only original Ventrac replacement parts. Service and General Maintenance Proper and timely service of this power unit is critical to keep the power unit in a safe and reliable operat- ing condition. Follow the maintenance schedule at the end of the service section. For convenience, a fre- quent service guide decal and a quick reference decal have been placed on the power unit under the hood.
Cleaning and Appearance Care For best results, and to maintain the finish of the power unit, clean or wash the power unit to remove accumulated clippings, leaves, dirt, gravel, and salt deposits when the job is finished. ATTENTION To maintain the finish of the power unit, thoroughly wash the equipment after each use to remove any corrosive agents (e.g. salt). Failure to clean the equipment may result in corrosion of (including but not limited to) steel, aluminum, and electrical com - ponents. Equipment that will experience repeated exposure to corrosive agents should be pretreated with a corrosion preventative. CAUTION If the engine has been running, it must be allowed to cool in order to prevent damage to the block and the exhaust manifold. Do not direct high pressure water at the engine, air cleaner, muffler, radiator, hydraulic oil cooler, or any electrical components. Allow the power unit and all components to cool be- fore washing. Refer to the specific service sections for proper cleaning techniques for the engine, radiator, and hydraulic oil cooler. Use mild soap and water to clean the power unit. Harsh chemical cleaners could cause damage to the finish or the components. It is necessary to periodically remove the lower rear frame cover and blow out or wash out any accumu- lated debris. After cleaning, use touch up paint to repair any chips or scratches.
