3. Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on
the replacement filter (Figure 23).
4. Install the replacement oil filter to the filter adapter,
turn the oil filter clockwise until the rubber gasket
contacts the filter adapter, then tighten the filter an
additional 2/3 to 1 turn (Figure 23).
5. Fill the crankcase with the proper type of new oil;
refer to Servicing the Engine Oil.
6. Run the engine for about 3 minutes, stop the engine,
and check for oil leaks around the oil filter.
7. Check the engine oil level and add oil if needed.
Synchronize the Remote
Transmitter/Control Module
If the remote or transmitter is ever replaced, the remote
will have to be re-synchronized with the receiver.
1. Locate the yellow with black stripe wire which is
tucked into the wire harness tubing coming from the
6 pin connector at the receiver (Figure 24). Pull the
wire out of the tubing.
2. Rotate the engine ignition key to the "START"
position and quickly release it to the "ON" position.
This wakes up the receiver.
3. Ground the wire to the chassis. Touching the wire to
one of the engine starter motor mounting fasteners
is a good ground.
4. While grounding the wire to the chassis, push and
hold down any of the buttons on the remote.
5. While still pressing the remote button, remove the
wire from the ground.
6. Release the remote button.
7. Press one of the chute direction buttons to verify
that the re-synchronize was completed successfully.
8. Tuck the wire back into the tubing.

Servicing the Spark Plugs
Ensure that the air gap between the center and side
electrodes is correct before installing the spark plug.
Use a spark plug wrench for removing and installing the
spark plugs and a gapping tool/feeler gauge to check and
adjust the air gap. Install a new spark plugs if necessary.
Type: Champion® RC12YC, Champion® Platinum
3071 or equivalent
Air Gap: 0.030 inch (0.76 mm)
Checking the Spark Plugs
Service Interval: Every 200 hours
1. Look at the center of the spark plugs (Figure 25).
If you see light brown or gray on the insulator, the
engine is operating properly. A black coating on the
insulator usually means that the air cleaner is dirty.
