Professional Service Advice
Cleanliness is of the utmost importance when servicing Peerless units. Use only genuine Tecumseh replacement parts to ensure durability. To make inspection simple, this handbook lists only sizes at which parts should be rejected, eliminating the need for complex wear calculations. Always replace gaskets and double-lip oil seals during an overhaul to prevent costly returns. When reassembling, use dowel pins to align case and cover before tightening screws to prevent binding.
