MAINTENANCE
Add the specified amount of recommended oil into the
engine.
After adding the oil, check the oil level.
Check that the oil filler packing [4] is in good condition,
replace it if necessary.
Install and tighten the oil filler cap securely.
Make sure there are no oil leaks.
AIR CLEANER CHECK/CLEANING
CHECK
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.
Remove the following:
– Air cleaner cover [1]
– Air cleaner cover element [2]
Carefully check element for holes or tears and replace if
damaged.
Clean the element if they are to be reused.
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
ELEMENT CLEANING
Clean the filter [1] in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow
to dry thoroughly, or clean with a non-flammable
solvent and allow to dry thoroughly.
Dip the filter in clean engine oil, and squeeze out all the
excess oil.
Excess oil will restrict air flow through the foam element
and may cause the engine to smoke at startup.
SAE 10W - 30 is
recommended for
general use. Other
viscosities shown in

used when the
average
temperature in your
