GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
TO KEEP THE TRS-20/TSS-20 IN
GOOD OPERATING CONDITION,
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING:
• When replacement parts are required, use
genuine Classen parts or parts with
equivalent characteristics including type,
strength, and material. Failure to do so may
result in product malfunction and possible
injury to the operator and/or bystanders.
• Keep all safety decals legible. Remove all
grease, dirt and debris from decals. Any
safety decal that becomes illegible should
be replaced immediately (see ‘Safety
Decals” section). Safety decals can be
affixed by peeling off the backing and
applying to clear, dry surface. Smooth
out to remove any air bubbles.
• Do not operate equipment without shields
in place.
• Do not make any adjustments or perform
any maintenance while the engine is
running.
• Check engine mounting bolts frequently to
maintain proper tightness.
• Thoroughly clean off blades when
application is completed and apply a light
coat of oil to prevent rust on blades.
• Keep belt free of oil and dirt.
• Check for worn or deteriorating
components that could create a hazard.
When new components are installed, be
sure that current safety decals are affixed to
the replaced components. Safety decals can
be affixed by peeling off the backing and
applying to clear, dry surface. Smooth out
to remove any air bubbles.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Owner’s Manual.
• Check engine oil level with engine resting
in a level position.
• Inspect air filter element and replace if
necessary.
• If carburetor adjustment is necessary, stand
to one side and keep feet and hands clear
while making adjustments.
