Cleaning the Paper Element
1. Lightly tap the element on a flat surface to remove
dust and dirt (Fig. 36).
2. Inspect the element for tears, an oily film, and damage
to the rubber seal.
Important
Never clean the paper element with
pressurized air or liquids, such as solvent, gas, or
kerosene. Replace the paper element if it is damaged or
cannot be cleaned thoroughly.

Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the
power take off (PTO) and turn the ignition key to off.
Remove the key.
2. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 37) so dirt cannot
fall into the filler hole and damage the engine.
3. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end clean
(Fig. 37).
4. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube, do not
thread onto tube (Fig. 37). Pull the dipstick out and
look at the metal end. If oil level is low, slowly pour
only enough oil into the filler tube to raise the level to
the full mark.
Important
Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because the engine may be damaged.
