Checking and Filling Fuel

WARNING!

 

TO pREVENT SERIOUS 

INJURY FROM FIRE:

 

Fill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area 

away from ignition sources.  If the Engine 

is hot from use, shut the Engine off and 

wait for it to cool before adding fuel.  Do not smoke. 
1.  Clean the Fuel Cap and the area around it.
2.  Unscrew and remove the Fuel Cap.
3.  Remove the Strainer and remove any dirt 

and debris.  Then replace the Strainer. 

Note:  Do not use gasoline containing more than 
10% ethanol (E10).  Do not use E85 ethanol.  Add fuel 
stabilizer to the gasoline or the Warranty is VOID.
Note:  Do not use gasoline that has been stored in a 
metal fuel container or a dirty fuel container.  It can 
cause particles to enter the carburetor, affecting 
engine performance and/or causing damage.

4.  If needed, fill the Fuel Tank to about 1 inch under 

the fill neck of the Fuel Tank with 91 octane or 

higher unleaded gasoline that has been treated 

with a fuel stabilizer additive.  Follow fuel stabilizer 

manufacturer’s recommendations for use.

5.  Then replace the Fuel Cap.

to evaporate before starting Engine.  

To prevent FIRE, do not start the Engine 

while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.

Air Filter Maintenance

1.  Remove the Air Cleaner Cover and the air filter(s) 

and check for dirt.  Clean as described below.

2. 

Cleaning:

•  For paper filters: 

To prevent injury from dust and debris, 

wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, 

NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator, and 

heavy-duty work gloves.  In a well-ventilated 

area away from bystanders, use pressurized 

air to blow dust out of the filter.

•  For foam filters: 

Wash the filter in warm water and mild 

detergent several times.  Rinse. Squeeze out 

excess water and allow it to dry completely.  

Soak the filter in lightweight oil briefly, 

then squeeze out the excess oil.

3.  Install the cleaned filter(s).  Secure the 

Air Cleaner Cover before use.

Engine Oil Change

CAUTION!

  Oil is very hot during operation and 

can cause burns.  Wait for Engine to cool before 

changing oil.
1.  Make sure the Engine is stopped and is level.
2.  Close the Fuel Valve.
3.  Place a drain pan (not included) underneath 

the crankcase’s drain plug.

4.  Remove the drain plug and, if possible, 

tilt the crankcase slightly to help drain 

the oil out.  Recycle used oil.

5.  Replace the drain plug and tighten it.
6.  Clean the top of the Dipstick and the area around it.  

Remove the Dipstick by turning it counterclockwise, 

and wipe it off with a clean, lint free rag.
