Operation & Instruction Manual
STEP 2
Reinstall the drain plug and fill the engine with oil until it reaches the upper level on the oil filler
cap.
STEP 3
Use fresh and high-quality lubricating oil to the specified level as outlined by the section “PRE-
OPERATION CHECKS”. If contaminated or deteriorated oil is used or the quantity of the engine oil
is not sufficient, engine damage will result, and its life will be greatly shortened.
STEP 4
Dispose of oil in accordance with your local zoning or environmental regulations.
SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER
Maintaining an air cleaner in proper condition is very important.
Dirt induced through improperly
installed, improperly serviced or inadequate elements causes damage and wears out the engine. Always
keep the element clean by following these steps:
STEP 1
Remove the bolt off the air cleaner cover.
STEP 2
Remove the air cleaner cover and cleaner element.
STEP 3
Urethane foam: wash urethane foam element in washing oil (kerosene) or diesel fuel. Then
saturate the element in a mixture of 3 parts kerosene or diesel fuel and 1-part engine oil.
STEP 4
Squeeze the element to remove the mixture and install it in the air cleaner.
NOTE:
Instead of washing oil (kerosene), it is possible to wash the urethane foam element in a
solution of mild detergent and warm water. Then rinse the element thoroughly in clean water. Allow
the element to dry properly. Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out excess oil.
CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG
STEP 1
If the plug is contaminated with carbon, remove and clean it with a plug cleaner or wire brush.
STEP 2
Adjust the electrode gap to manufacturer’s specifications – refer to engine’s instruction manual.
CLEANING FUEL STRAINER
Dirt and water in the fuel are removed by the fuel strainer. To clean the strainer, follow these steps:
STEP 1
Remove the strainer cup and clean out any water and dirt.
STEP 2
Clean the screen and strainer cup with petrol.
STEP 3
Tightly fasten the cup to main body, making sure to avoid fuel leak.
