The Paclite Equipment Drive Units are designed to give many years of trouble free operation. It is,
however, important that the simple regular maintenance listed in this section is carried out. It is
recommended that an approved Paclite Equipment dealer carries out all major maintenance and
repairs. Always use genuine Paclite Equipment replacement parts, the use of spurious parts may
void your warranty.
Before any maintenance is carried out on the machine, switch off the engine. For petrol machines,
disconnect the HT lead from the sparkplug. Always set the Drive Unit on level ground to ensure
any fluid levels will be correctly read. Only use recommended oils (see chart below).
Running In Period
When the Drive Unit is first used from new, the engine oil must be changed after the initial running
in period (see engine manual for full details)
Note: When servicing the engine please refer to the engine manual for instructions.
