3.
Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on
the replacement filter (
4.
Install the replacement oil filter to the filter adapter,
turn the oil filter clockwise until the rubber gasket
contacts the filter adapter, then tighten the filter an
additional 2/3 to 1 turn (
).
5.
Fill the crankcase with the proper type of new oil; refer
to
Servicing the Engine Oil (page 21)
.
6.
Run the engine for about 3 minutes, stop the engine,
and check for oil leaks around the oil filter.
7.
Check the engine oil level and add oil if needed.
Associate Remote Control and
Base Unit
Important:
Make sure to read the entire procedure
before attempting the association process.
The remote control must establish communications with
the base unit before the system can be used. The remote
control is associated to the system base unit before leaving
the factory. This is done using the associate procedure.
In situations where it is necessary to re-establish remote
control-to-base unit communications (example: introducing
a new or spare remote control to an existing base unit), the
following associate procedure must be performed.
Note:
Associating the remote control to a different base
unit will disassociate that remote control from the original
base unit.
1.
Remove power from the base unit.
2.
Stand near the base unit in unobstructed, clear
line-of-sight with the remote control in hand.
3.
Simultaneously press and hold the R

buttons. The LED will blink about
once per second.
4.
Continue to hold both buttons until the LED begins
blinking about twice per second.
5.
Release the buttons.
6.
Press and hold the R

solid if the procedure is successful.
Note:
This could take up to 20 seconds.

Servicing the Spark Plugs
Ensure that the air gap between the center and side electrodes
is correct before installing the spark plugs. Use a spark plug
wrench for removing and installing the spark plugs and a
gapping tool/feeler gauge to check and adjust the air gap.
Install new sparks plugs if necessary.
Type: Champion® RC12YC, Champion® Platinum 3071 or
equivalent
Air Gap: 0.76 mm (0.030 inch)
Checking the Spark Plugs
Service Interval:
Every 200 hours
1.
Look at the center of the spark plugs (
). If
you see light brown or gray on the insulator, the engine
is operating properly. A black coating on the insulator
usually means that the air cleaner is dirty.
