Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and washer.
Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil
drain plug and new washer, and tighten the oil drain plug
securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground,
or pour it down a drain.
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty areas,
clean the air filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE.
Operating the engine without an air filter element, or with a
damaged air filter element, will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not covered by
the Distributor’s Limited Warranty.
Remove the two screws and the air cleaner cover. Inspect the air
filter elements. Clean or replace dirty air filter elements. Always
replace damaged air filter elements.
Refer to page for cleaning instructions.
Reinstall the air filter elements and air cleaner cover.
Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage. This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s
Limited Warranty.
With the engine in a level position, fill with the recommended oil
(see page
) to the upper limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill
hole).
