MOTOR OIL
CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to ensure rapid and complete drainage.
1.
Place the machine in an upright position on a flat and level surface.
2.
Clean the machine around the oil filler cap (A) so that no dirt or other material enters the engine when the
cap is removed.
3.
Remove the oil filler cap (rotate left) until fully unscrewed. For machines without a dipstick, the oil level is
determined by how close the oil is to the edge of the filler hole (B). For machines equipped with an oil level
dipstick:
A. Remove the dipstick and clean it with a clean cloth or paper.
B. Insert the dipstick into the oil filter, but do not screw it in.
C. Remove the dipstick again and inspect it, the oil level is determined
by the last oil mark left on the dipstick.
4.
Ensure that the oil level is at or just under the "maximum". If the oil level is low, add additional oil until the
correct level is reached. If the oil level is too high, drain some oil until the correct level is reached.
5.
When finished, re-install (rotate right) the oil filler cap until firm. Wipe off any residual oil from the machine.
ENGINE OIL CHANGE
1.
Place the machine on a suitable work surface that is flat and level and have a container ready to catch
drained oil.
2.
Clean the machine around the oil drain plug (D) and oil filler cap/dipstick so that no dirt or other material
enters the engine when the plug or cap is removed.
3.
Unscrew (rotate left) and remove the drain plug and washer.
4.
Tilt the machine and drain all oil from the engine. Once drained, allow the machine to sit level again.
5.
Clean the drain plug and washer and then reinstall them. Screw in fully (rotate right) and firmly tighten.
6.
Remove the oil filler cap (rotate left) until fully unscrewed. Wipe the oil level indicator clean with a piece of
cloth or paper.
7.
Using a funnel, carefully add oil to the engine until the "maximum" level is reached. Double- check the oil
level (described above).
8.
When finished, re-install (rotate right) the oil filler cap until firm. Wipe off any residual oil from the machine.
AIR FILTER
ATTENTION: Operating the machine without a functional air filter can cause severe engine damage
and will void the warranty. The air filter serves to prevent dirt or other particles from entering the
engine that can cause internal damage to the engine.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
To clean the air filter:
•
For foam filters, wash the filter in warm water and mild detergent, then rinse and allow to dry.
•
For paper filters, use compressed air to blow particles from it. The air should be blown from the engine side of the filter.
•
Clean all other air filter assembly components using water and mild detergent, then dry them.
•
For foam filters, place a few drops of clean engine oil on the filter then squeeze it a few times to spread the oil
through the filter material and remove any excess oil.
AIR FILTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
To remove the air filter:
1.
Unscrew (turn counterclockwise) the wing nut carefully with the air filter cover and remove the air inlet
assembly cover.
