Can you not service the TM yourself Gary?

Spark plugs for engine
Oil for blower and engine (unless grease is used for non oil bath blowers)
Oil Filter for engine (and air if needed)
Drive belts (unless drive rubbers)
De-scaler (if needed)


Can't think of anything else. Would only take a morning tbh.

Cheers

Kev

50 hr service just change the oil
100 hr service oil and filter and grease blower
500 hrs blower oil and water pump oil


The only one that takes more than 15 min is the 500 hr service.

To be honest mate, if you can't even change the oil, you will Really struggle to run this machine.

Read the manual?

That is Interesting , they want to do the easy work and charge a fortune, but when somebody else had an oil leak on his TM they did not know anything about BS engines...........need to make there mind up ???

Correct SES closed down last year.  Shame they certainly new about engines and were very reasonably priced. Probably to reasonable and hence it was no longer an economic proposition
