kerosene or diesel fuel and 1 part engine oil. Shake off
excessive oil and reinstall. Wash the air cleaner case using
kerosene. After cleaning it up, apply the engine oil on the inner
part of the case.
CAUTION
If the air cleaner element is seriously contaminated,
start-up failure, poor output and malfunctions of the engine
may result.
Lubrication
Lubrication is an essential part of preventive maintenance,
affecting to a great extent the useful life of the unit. Different
lubricants are needed and some components in the unit require
more frequent lubrication than others.
Specific recommendations of brand and grade of lubricants are
not made here due to regional availability, operating conditions,
and the continual development of improved products. Where
questions arise, refer to the requirements and specifications in
the manufacturer's manual.
All oil levels are to be checked with the machine parked on a
level surface, and while the oil is cold, unless otherwise
specified.
Check Fuel
1. Stop the engine and open the fuel tank cap.
2. Use automobile unleaded gasoline only.
3. Close the fuel cock before filling the fuel tank.

WARNING
Fuel is flammable. It may cause injury and property
damage.
Shut down the engine, extinguish all open flames and do
not smoke while filling the fuel tank.
Always wipe up any spilled fuel.
