Read the safety Precautions in the front of this
manual and in the engine Owner's Manual before

Routine Maintenance

At the end of each day's use, refill the fuel tank to
minimize moisture condensation in the tank. Running
out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel system.
Also, check the crankcase oil level and add oil if
indicated.
