2. Open the cover ( Figure 17 ).
3. Remove the filter ( Figure 17 ).
4. Inspect the air filter.
A. If the filter is damaged or is wet with oil or fuel,
replace it.
B. If the filter is dirty, tap it on a hard surface several
times or blow compressed air less than 207 kPa
(30 psi) through the side of the filter that faces
the engine.
Note:
Do not brush the dirt off the filter;
brushing forces dirt into the fibers.

a moist rag.
Do not wipe dirt into the air duct.
6. Insert the filter into the air cleaner ( Figure 17 ).
7. Install the cover ( Figure 17 ).
Changing the Engine Oil
Service Interval: After the first 5 hours
Yearly
1. Ensure that the fuel tank contains little or no fuel so
that fuel does not leak out when you tip the machine
onto its side.
2. Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil
to warm it.
Note:
Warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants.
3. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug. Refer to
Preparing for Maintenance.
4. Remove the dipstick.
5. Tip the machine onto its side, with the dipstick down,
to drain the used oil out through the oil fill tube.
6. Return the machine to the operating position.
7. Slowly pour oil into the oil fill hole, wait 3 minutes,
and check the oil level on the dipstick by wiping the
dipstick clean and then inserting,
but not screwing in,
the oil fill cap into the hole.
Note:
Max. fill: 0.59 L (20 oz), type: SAE 30 or SAE
10W-30 detergent oil with an API service classification
of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.
Note:
Fill the engine crankcase with oil until the
dipstick indicates that the engine oil level is correct as
shown in (
Figure 18 ). If you overfill the engine with oil,
remove the excess oil as directed in 5 .
