CLEAN AIR FILTER

A dirty air filter decreases engine perform-

ance and increases fuel consumption and

harmful emissions. Always clean or replace

air filter after every 5 hours of operation or

yearly, whichever comes first.

Cleaning the air filter:

1. Clean the cover and the area around it to

keep debris from falling into the carburetor

chamber when the cover is removed.

NOTE:

Move choke lever to RUN position

before opening air filter cover.

2. Open air filter cover by pushing button

(see illustration). Remove air filter.

NOTE:

Do not clean filter in gasoline or other

flammable solvent. Doing so can create a fire

hazard or produce harmful evaporative emis-

sions.

3. Wash the filter in soap and water.

4. Allow filter to dry.

5. Apply a few drops of oil to the filter;

squeeze filter to distribute oil.

6. Replace parts.

REPLACE SPARK PLUG

Replace spark plug each year to ensure the

engine starts easier and runs better. Set

spark plug gap at 0.025 inch (0.6 mm). Igni-

tion timing is fixed, nonadjustable.

NOTE:

This spark ignition system complies

with the Canadian standard ICES--002.

1. Twist, then pull off spark plug boot.

2. Remove spark plug from cylinder and dis-

card.

3. Replace with Champion RCJ-6Y spark

plug and tighten securely with a 3/4 inch

(19 mm) socket wrench.

4. Reinstall the spark plug boot.

REPLACE FUEL FILTER

To replace fuel filter, drain unit by running it dry

of fuel, then remove fuel cap/retainer assem-

bly from tank. Pull filter from tank and remove

it from the fuel line. Install new fuel filter on fuel

line; reinstall parts.
