Oil Change
Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and sealing
washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and a new sealing 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.
3. With the engine in a level position, fill with the recommended oil (see
page 7) to the upper limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill hole).
Engine oil capacity: 0.28 L (9 oz, 0.25 lmp qt)

type of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited Warranty.

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 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.
Inspection
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 9 for cleaning instructions.
Reinstall the air filter elements and air cleaner cover.
