Air Cleaner

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to

the carburetor and cause poor engine

performance. Inspect the filter each

time the engine is operated. Clean the

filter more frequently if the engine is

operated in very dusty areas.

NOTICE: Operating the engine without

a filter, will allow dirt to enter the

engine, causing rapid engine wear. This

type of damage is not covered under

the warranty.

Inspect

1. Press the latch tabs on the top of

the air cleaner cover and remove

the cover. Check the filter to be

sure it is clean and in good

condition.

2. Reinstall the filter and air cleaner

cover.

Cleaning

1. Tap the filter several times on a

hard surface to remove dirt or

blow compressed air [not

exceeding 30 psi (207kPa, 1.2

kg/cm

2

) through the filter from the

clean side that faces the engine.

Never try to brush off dirt.

Brushing will force dirt into the

fibers.

2. Wipe dirt from the air cleaner body

and cover using a moist rag. Be

careful to prevent dirt from

entering the air duct that leads to

the carburetor.

To Change Oil

Drain the engine oil when the engine is

warm. Warm oil drains quickly and

completely.

1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF

position, 1/4 turn clockwise.

2. Place a suitable container next to

the engine to catch the used oil.

3. Remove filler cap/dipstick and

drain the oil into the container by

tipping the engine toward the oil

filler neck.

NOTE: Please dispose of used motor

oil in a manner that is compatible with

the environment. It is recommended to

take used oil in a sealed container to

your local recycling center or service

station for reclamation. Do not throw it

in the trash or pour it on the ground or

down a drain.

4. With the engine in a level position,

fill to the upper limit mark on the

dipstick with SAE 10W-30 oil.

Engine oil capacity is 0.58 quart

(.055 liter). NOTE: Other

viscosities shown in the chart in

the “To Check Oil” paragraph may

be used.

5. Replace the oil filler cap/dipstick

securely.
