Oil Filter Replacement
1. Place a suitable container underneath the oil filter.
2. Using a strap wrench or oil filter wrench, remove the
oil filter. Turn the filter counter-clockwise to remove
it.
3. Apply a thin coat of new oil or grease to the oil filter
seal (-B-).
4. Install the new filter (-A-)
(Part #: KA490657007)
by
turning it clockwise.
5. Turn the filter until the seal contacts the mounting
surface (-C-) of the engine. Then, turn the filter “ BY
HAND” 3/4 turn more.
6. Reconnect the LP cylinder to the fuel hose.
7. Run the engine at low idle for 2 minutes. Check for
leaks around the engine.
Spark Plug Inspection and Replacement
1. Turn off LP cylinder and remove it.
2. Pull spark plug cap off of spark plug.
3. Remove spark plug by turning counter-clockwise and
inspect it.
NOTE: If the plug is oily or has carbon build up on it,
clean the plug using a high flash-point solvent and a
wire brush or other suitable tool.
NOTE:
If the spark plug electrodes are corroded or
damaged, or if the insulator is cracked, replace the
plug.
Use Only Part #: KA920702112. DO NOT use
any other spark plug!
4. Measure the gap with a wire-type thickness gauge.
The correct gap is .025 in (.635 mm). If the gap is
incorrect, carefully bend the side electrode with a
suitable tool to obtain the correct gap.
A: Insulator
B: Center Electrode
C: Plug Gap
D: Side Electrode
Hood Removal
The hood must must be removed to gain access to the
LP fuel regulator, starter solenoid, starting battery, and
electrical components. Remove the two knobs, one of
each side of the hood. With the knobs removed pull
toward the front of the machine and lift the hood out of
place.
Air Filter Inspection and Replacement
1. Push machine to level surface.
2. Turn off LP cylinder and remove it.
3. Turn the two knobs 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and
remove the filter cover.
4. Loosen clamp that retains filter and remove the air
filter.
CAUTION!
Do not wash the air cleaner filters. Do not
oil the air filters. Do not use pressurized air to clean
the air filters.
5. Inspect both primary and secondary air filters. If
necessary, clean primary filter by lightly tapping and
wipe seal ends with a clean cloth. If primary filter
cannot be cleaned, is bent, or damaged, it must be
replaced. (Part #: KA110130752) If secondary filter
is dirty, do not attempt to clean it. Replace it with a
new filter (Part #: KA110137046).
6. Check the intake hose for cracks or damage.
7. Install filters and replace cover.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-17
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
•
Check the O-ring [A] on the oil filler cap for damage. Re-
place the oil filler cap assembly if O-ring is damaged.
When checking the oil level, do not turn oil filler cap on
threads.
NOTE
○
Some increase in oil consumption may be expected
when a multi grade engine oil (10W-30/10W-40, 5W-20)
is used. Check the oil level more frequently than recom-
mended interval.
Oil Filter Replacement
•
Drain the engine oil (see Engine Oil Change).
•
Using a suitable tool [A], remove the oil filter [B].
○
When unscrewing the oil filter, place a suitable container
beneath the oil drip tray to receive oil from the oil filter and
oil passages in the engine.
•
Replace the oil filter [A] with a new one.
•
Apply light film of engine oil to the seal [B].
•
Install the oil filter.
Torque - Oil Filter: 11.8 N·m (1.2 kgf·m, 104 in·lb)
○
Turn the filter until the seal contacts mounting surface [C]
of the engine. Then turn the filter BY HAND (S) 3/4 turn.
•
Run the engine at slow idle speed 3 minutes.
○
While running the engine, check for oil leaks around it.
•
Stop the engine and check the oil level (see Engine Oil
Level Inspection).
Electrical System
Spark Plug Cleaning and Inspection
•
Carefully pull the plug cap from the spark plug, and re-
move the spark plug.
If the plug is oily or has carbon built up on it, clean the
plug using a high flash-point solvent and a wire brush or
other suitable tools.
If the spark plug electrodes are corroded or damaged, or
if the insulator is cracked replace the plug with a new one.
Use the standard spark plug or its equivalent.
Insulator [A]
Center Electrode [B]
Plug Gap [C]
Side Electrode [D]
Spark Plug Gap Inspection
•
Measure the gap with a wire-type thickness gauge.
If the gap is not correct, carefully bend the side electrode
with a suitable tool to obtain the correct gap.
Spark Plug Gap
Standard: 0.7 ∼ 0.8 mm (0.028 ∼ 0.031 in.)
