Oil Change (Cont’d)
3. With the engine in a level position, fill with
the recommended oil to the upper limit
mark on the oil level dipstick.
NOTE: Running the engine with a low
oil level can cause engine damage. The
oil senor will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below
the safe limit. However, to avoid the
inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, fill to the upper limit and
check the oil level regularly.
4. Reinstall the oil filler cap and oil level
dipstick securely.
Air Filter Inspection & Service
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the
carburetor, reducing engine performance. If
you operate the engine in very dusty areas,
clean the air filter more often than specified in
the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
NOTE: Operating the engine without an
air filter, or with a damaged air filter, will
allow dirt to enter the engine, causing
rapid engine wear. This type of damage
is not covered by the warranty.
Inspection
1. Remove the air filter cover and inspect
the filter elements. Clean or replace dirty
filter elements. Always replace damaged
filter elements.
Cleaning
1. Remove the wing nut from the air filter
cover.
2. Carefully remove plastic grid from the
bottom of the cover.
3. Remove the foam air filter from the bottom
of the cover.
4. Inspect both filter elements, and replace
them if they are damaged. Always replace
the paper filter element at the scheduled
interval.
5. Clean the filter elements if they are to be
reused.
6. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air filter
base and cover, using a moist rag. Be
careful to prevent dirt from entering the air
duct that leads to the carburetor.
7. Place the foam air filter inside the cover, and
reinstall the plastic grid. Be sure the packing
is in place beneath the filter element.
Tighten the wing nut securely.
