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.
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.

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.
