Maintenance
6. To clean the main element (paper air filter) as referenced
in Figure 20, tap the filter element several times on a
hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air
(not to exceed 30 psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm
2
) through
the filter element from the inside out.

7. Replace the element if it is damaged or excessively
dirty.
8. Clean the inside of the dust pan.
9. Reinstall the element or if equipped, the precleaner
over the paper air cleaner element.

the engine is level.
2. Lift (tilt) seat forward to access engine oil dipstick.
3. Pull the engine oil dipstick from its holder.

5. If oil level is low add correct amount of engine oil to bring
oil level to a normal safe level (See Recommended
Viscosity Grades, Table 6).
6. Allow enough time for any added oil to make its way
to the oil pan before rechecking.
Changing engine Oil and Filter
Change the engine oil and filter after the first 50 hours of
use, then every 6 months or 250 hours. Refer to Table 6
for recommended oil viscosity.
1. Prepare a waste oil collector to drain the oil into.
2. Remove the oil filler cap while draining the oil
(Figure 22) to allow the engine to drain easily.
