Maintenance - Ryobi RY13016 Operator's Manual

 Position camshaft by pulling the recoil starter grip just
until the deep hole in the camshaft gear is located at the
6 o'clock position.
 Place the feeler gauge under each rocker arm and measure
the gap. The gap should be between .006 in. (0.15 mm)
and .008 in. (0.20 mm) for both rocker arms.
NOTE: Use a standard automotive feeler gauge. The
.006 in. (0.15 mm) feeler gauge should slide between
the rocker arm and valve stem with a slight amount of
resistance but without binding. The 0.008 in. (0.20 mm)
feeler gage should not slide between the rocker arms and
the cam lobes — it should be held tight.
 If the valve clearance is not between .006 in. (0.15 mm)
and .008 in. (0.20 mm), the clearance should be adjusted
as follows:
 While holding a wrench on the flats of the adjusting nut
with one hand, loosen the retaining nut with a second
wrench as shown. Take care not to loosen the stud.
 Rotate the adjusting nut until it touches the feeler gauge.
Once the gap setting is correct, hold the wrench on the
flats of the adjusting nut and retighten the retaining nut
securely.
 Adjust the second rocker arm, if necessary.
 Replace the rocker arm cover and screw; tighten securely.
 Replace the top engine cover and screw; tighten securely.

HIGH ALTITUDE ENGINE OPERATION
Your engine is configured for operation below 2000 feet
altitude at the factory. Your engine must be reconfigured for
operation above 2000 feet altitude. Operating the engine
with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude may
increase its emissions, decrease fuel efficiency, degrade per-
formance and cause irreversible damage. Engines configured
for high altitude operation cannot be operated in standard
altitude conditions. A qualified service center should ensure
that your engine is properly configured for your location.
