and warm water, squeezing it to remove dirt, but do
not twist because it may tear.

C. Dry the element by wrapping it in a clean rag,
squeezing the rag and element.

Changing the Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine
and pull the wire off of the spark plug (Fig. 18).
2. Clean around the oil dipstick and remove it (Fig. 10).

the dipstick tube to raise the level to the F (full) mark.
