PERFORMING MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Always ensure that the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs.
WARNING! Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean engine parts. Keep any ignition source
such as sparks, and flames away from all fuel related parts.
Before performing adjustments or repairs:
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug.
2. Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as the original parts.
3. Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object. The flywheel may later shatter during operation.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

Never make adjustments to the carburetor. The carburetor was set at the factory to operate efficiently under most
conditions. However, if adjustments are required, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for a solution.
Inspect Muffler and Spark Arrester (if applicable)
WARNING! Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become extremely hot. Severe
thermal burns can occur on contact. Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.
1. Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.
2. Remove debris from muffler and cylinder area.

ENGINE OIL

High-quality detergent engine oils are acceptable if the
American Petroleum Institute (API) performance rating is SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Always check the API service label on the
oil container for the performance rating. Do not use
special additives.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities
may be used when the average temperature in your area is
within the range indicated in the chart below.
IMPORTANT! Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result
in hard starting. Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W-30 may
cause increased oil consumption. Check oil level.
HOW TO CHECK/ADD OIL
1. Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level position.
2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe
it clean.
3. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck
without screwing it in.
4. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick to check
the oil level. The oil level should be in
between the MIN. and MAX. levels.
5. To add oil, pour the oil slowly into the
engine oil fill. Do not overfill. After adding
oil, wait one minute and then recheck the
oil level.
6. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick. Tighten securely.
