5. Clean the sealing surface where the filter mounts on
the engine.
6. Coat the seal of the new oil filter with clean engine
oil. Install the new filter first by hand until it contacts
the engine sealing surface. Tighten it another 3/4 turn
using the filter wrench.
7. Fill the engine with oil until it shows between the upper
and lower limits on the dipstick. DO NOT overfill.
8. Run the engine for several minutes. Watch for oil
leakage. Shut the engine down and allow it to sit for
several minutes. Top off the oil to the upper limit on
the dipstick.
FUEL TANK
CAUTION
DO NOT store the trowel with fuel in the tank for any
extended period of time. Completely drain the fuel
system (tank, lines, etc.) if the unit is to be placed into
long-term storage.
For shorter or intermediate periods of time the tank
should be filled to avoid condensation that could cause
contamination of the fuel.
Removing Water from the Fuel Tank
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate
in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally inspect the fuel tank
for water contamination and drain the contents if required.
During cold weather, the more empty volume inside the
tank, the easier it is for water to condense. This can be
reduced by keeping the tank full with unleaded gasoline.
Cleaning Inside the Fuel Tank
If necessary, drain the fuel inside the fuel tank completely.
Using a spray washer wash out any deposits or debris that
have accumulated inside the fuel tank.
Adding Fuel
When adding fuel always use clean, fresh, unleaded 87 or
89 octane rated fuel.
