according to your expected operating temperature. SAE 0
grade oil is recommended for warm weather use. For cold
weather use refer to the engine manufacturer's Operating
and Maintenance Manual.

oil level
before each use. Maintain engine oil as
instructed in the separate engine manual.
• Service
air cleaner
every 25 hours under normal
conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely
dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding
usually indicates that the air cleaner should be serviced.
To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate engine
manual.
• The

should be cleaned and the gap reset
once a season. Spark plug replacement at the start of
each season is recommended. Check the engine manual
for correct plug type and gap specifications.

the cooling fins on the engine housing clean to permit
proper air circulation which is essential to engine
performance and life. Be sure to remove all dirt and
debris from muffler area.
