10.2 ENGINE
The maintenance instructions for the engine can be found in the separate engine manual.
Store the engine oil according to the instructions in the separate engine manual that comes with your device.
Read and follow the instructions carefully.
Maintain the air filter according to the separate engine manual under normal conditions. Under extremely dusty
conditions, the air filter must be cleaned every few hours. Poor engine performance and clogging usually
indicate that the air filter should be serviced.
Refer to the separate engine manual that came with your device for information on how to service the air filter.
The spark plug should be cleaned once per season, and the air filter slide-in should be reset. Spark plug
replacement is recommended at the beginning of each season; check the engine manual for the correct plug
type.
