MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Cleaning and Storage
Storage Tips
Recoil Housing
Remove the recoil housing drain plug and drain any moisture.
Oil and Filter
Warm the engine and change the oil and filter.
Fluid Levels
Inspect the following fluid levels and change if necessary: front and
rear gearcases; transmission and brake fluid (change every two years or
as required if fluid looks dark or contaminated).
Fog the Engine
1. Remove the spark plug and add 2-3 tablespoons of Premium 4
Synthetic 0W40 engine oil. To access the plug hole, use a section of
clear 1/4” hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle filled with the
pre-measured amount of oil.
NOTE: Do this carefully! If you miss the plug hole, oil will drain from
the spark plug cavity into the hole at the front of the cylinder
head, and appear to be an oil leak.
2. Reinstall the spark plug. Torque to 18 ft. lbs. (24 Nm).
3. Apply dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug cap and install
the cap onto the plug.
4. Turn the engine over several times. Oil will be forced in and around
the piston rings and ring lands, coating the cylinder with a protective
film of fresh oil.
