3. After performing the maintenance procedure(s),

Important: Before tipping the machine to change
the oil or replace the blade, allow the fuel tank to
run dry through normal usage. If you must tip
the machine prior to running out of fuel, use a
hand fuel pump to remove the fuel. Always tip the
machine onto its side with the dipstick down.
WARNING
Tipping the machine may cause the fuel to
leak. Gasoline is flammable, explosive and
can cause personal injury.
Run the engine dry or remove the gasoline
with a hand pump; never siphon.

Replacing the Air Filter

Service Interval: Every 25 hours/Yearly (whichever comes
first)—Replace the air-cleaner element
(more frequently when operating the
machine in dusty or dirty operating
conditions).
1. Perform the pre-maintenance procedures; refer to
Preparing for Maintenance (page 11).
2. Use a screw driver to open the air-filter cover
(Figure 17).
3. Replace the air filter (Figure 18).
4. Install the cover.

Changing the Engine Oil

Service Interval: After the first 5 hours
Yearly
Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil to warm
it. Warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants.
1. Perform the pre-maintenance procedures; refer to
Preparing for Maintenance (page 11).
2. Remove the dipstick.
3. Tip the machine onto its side, with the dipstick down,
to drain the used oil out through the oil-fill tube
(Figure 19).
4. After draining the used oil, return the machine to the
normal operating position.
