AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Air Filter
Failure to maintain your air filter properly can result in poor performance or
can cause permanent damage to your engine.
1.
Open the air filter cover. Push the locking tab on the under side of
the cover inward. Then pull the air filter cover out and up. (Fig. 23).
2.
Remove the air filter (Fig. 24).
3.
Wash the filter in detergent and water. Rinse the filter
thoroughly and allow it to dry.
4.
Apply enough clean SAE 30 motor oil to lightly coat the filter.
5.
Squeeze the filter to spread and remove excess oil.
6.
Replace the filter (Fig. 24).
NOTE:
If the unit is operated without the air filter, you will VOID the
warranty.
7.
Reinstall the air filter cover. Position the slots on the top of the air
filter cover onto the tabs at the top of the back plate (Figs. 23 & 24).
8.
Swing the cover down until the tab on the air filter backplate
snaps into place in the slot on the air filter cover (Fig. 25).
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
CHANGING THE OIL
Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow freely and
carry away more impurities.
1.
Remove the oil fill plug.
2.
Pour the oil out of the oil fill
hole and into a container by
tipping the unit to the side
(Fig. 21). Allow ample time
for complete drainage.
3.
Wipe up any oil residue on the
unit and clean up any oil that
may have spilled. Dispose of
the oil according to federal,
state and local regulations.
4.
Tilt the unit backwards 30°
(Fig. 22).
5.
Refill the crankcase with
3.04 fluid ounce (90 ml) of
SAE 30 SF, SG, SH oil.
b Use the bottle and spout
saved from initial use to measure the correct amount of oil. The
top of the label on the bottle measures approximately 3.04
ounces (90 ml) (Fig. 22). Check the level, See Checking the Oil
Level. If the level is low, add a small amount of oil and recheck.
Do not overfill (Fig. 22).
6.
Replace the oil fill plug.
