OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
With the engine in a horizontal position, fill to
the top of the oil filler neck with the
recommended oil.
Replace the dipstick then reinstall the
maintenance cover and tighten the cover screw
securely.
Note:
Improper disposal of engine oil can be
harmful to the environment. If you change oil
please dispose of it properly. Put it in a sealed
container and take it to a recycling centre. Do
not discard it in household waste, dump it on
the ground or pour it down a drain.
Fuel Tank Filter (Fig 22)
After every 100 hours of running or every 6
months the fuel tank filter should be removed
and cleaned.
Remove the fuel tank filler cap and the filter,
clean the filter thoroughly using an
environmentally friendly water based degreasing
agent and re-fit.
Air Filter
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the
carburettor. To prevent carburettor malfunction,
service the air cleaner regularly.
Warning!
Using gasoline or flammable solvent
to clean the air filter can cause a fire or
explosion. Use only soapy water or a non
flammable solvent.
Having first removed the side maintenance
cover, Fig 23, release the securing clips on the
air cleaner housing, Fig 24.
Pull away the bottom of the housing, Fig 25. The
filter matrix can now be removed.
Wash the air filter in a solution of household
detergent and warm water, then rinse it
thoroughly, or wash it in a non flammable or
high flash point solvent. Allow the air filter to dry
thoroughly.
Reinstall the air filter and cleaner cover, then
reinstall the maintenance cover.
