Oil Change

2 : 1 Reduction Case With Centrifugal Clutch
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly
and completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the reduction case to catch the
used oil, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, drain plug and
washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain
plug and a new washer, and tighten the 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 or pour it on the ground
or pour it down a drain.
3. With the engine in a level position, fill with the recommended oil
(see page 9) to the upper limit mark on the dipstick. To check
the oil level, insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it
into the filler hole.
Reduction case oil capacity: 0.50 L (0.53 US qt, 0.44 lmp qt)
Running the engine with a low reduction case oil level can cause
reduction case damage.

AIR CLEANER

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, or with a damaged air
filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited
Warranty.

Inspection

Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter elements.
Clean or replace dirty filter elements. Always replace damaged filter
elements. If equipped with an oil-bath air cleaner, also check the oil
level.
Refer to pages 11–12 for instructions that apply to the air cleaner
and filter for your engine type.
