Remove the oil filler cap (1) and the drain plug bolt (2)
and drain the oil into the suitable container (3).
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is
compatible with the environment. We suggest you take
used oil in a sealed container to your local recycling
center or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it
in the trash, pour it into the ground, or down a drain.
Install a new 10 mm washer (4), tighten the drain bolt to
the specified torque.

recommended oil to the top of the oil filler neck.
Reinstall the oil drain plug (5).
Tighten the oil filler cap securely.
Reinstall the oil maintenance cover.
AIR CLEANER CHECK/CLEANING
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor,
reducing engine performance. If the engine is operated
in dusty areas, clean the air cleaner more often than
specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
Loosen the 6 x 16 mm special screw (1) and remove
the air cleaner cover (2).
Remove the air cleaner element (1) and outer filter
element (2) from the air cleaner case (3).
Operating the engine without an air filter element or with
a damaged air filter element will allow dirt to enter the
engine, causing rapid engine wear.
Inspect the air cleaner element and outer filter element
and replace if damaged.
Used engine oil contains substances that have
been identified as carcinogenic.If repeatedly left in
contact with the skin for prolonged periods, it may
cause skin cancer.Wash your hands thoroughly
with soap and water as soon as possible after con-
tact with used engine oil.
