Please dispose of used motor oil and the containers in a manner that is compatible with the
environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local recycling center or service
station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or pour it down a drain.
Fill with the recommended oil. Do not overfill. Allow a couple of minutes for the oil to settle in the
engine, then measure the oil level.
Air Cleaner Service
NOTICE: Operating the engine without an air cleaner, or with a damaged air cleaner, will allow
dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
The air cleaner system uses a pleated filter with an optional pre-cleaner. The pre-cleaner
can be washed and reused.
Loosen the fastener (A) that holds the cover (B).
Open the cover and remove the pre-cleaner (C) and the filter (D).
To loosen debris, gently tap the filter on a hard surface. If the filter is excessively dirty, replace with
a new filter.
Wash the pre-cleaner in liquid detergent and water. Then allow it to thoroughly air dry. Do not oil
the pre-cleaner.
Assemble the dry pre-cleaner to the filter with the lip (E) of the pre-cleaner on the bottom of the
filter pleats.
Install the filter.
Install the cover tabs (F) into the slots (G).
Close the cover and secure with the fastener.
