Change the filter initially after 25 hours of operation, thereafter change the oil and filter every 250 hours of operation. The oil and filter must be changed immediately when any conta- mination, sludge, water or condensation appears in the oil or on sight gauge.

    Note: Injection operation starts approximately 4–5 seconds after pump engages. Also, the injection system will auto- matically stop if the traction bail is not engaged within 3–4 seconds after starting the water system. 11. When aerating, work moving perpendicular from the water supply to avoid running over the garden hose.
