5.2 General Inspection Tips

1. 

Look for fuel leaks around the fuel tank, fuel hose, fuel valve and carburetor. 
Close the fuel valve and repair leaks immediately.

2. 

Look and listen for exhaust leaks while the engine is running. Have all the 
leaks repaired before continuing operation.

3. 

Check for dirt and debris and clean as necessary .

4. 

Check the engine oil level and add oil as necessary.

Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning. They are 
flammable and could explode under certain conditions.

5.3 Cleaning The Air-Filter

Using gasoline or other flammable solvents can cause a fire or explosion. 
Do not operate this product without an air filter.

1. 

Rotate the knob counterclockwise to release. 

2. 

Lift the filter cap to remove from the filter. 

3. 

Remove the foam filter. 

4. 

 If the foam element is dirty, clean it in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow it 
to dry thoroughly, or clean in non-flammable solvent and allow to dry.

5. 

Dip the foam element in clean engine oil, then squeeze out all excess oil. 
The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in the filter.

6. 

Wipe dirt from the air filter unit and cover using a moist rag.
