Engine Maintenance

Engine Safety

•
Shut off the engine before checking the oil or
adding oil to the crankcase.
•
Do not change the governor speed or overspeed
the engine.

Servicing the Air Cleaner

Service Interval: Every 200 hours (more frequently in
extreme dusty or dirty conditions).
•
Check the air cleaner body for damage which
could cause an air leak. Replace it if it is damaged.
Check the whole intake system for leaks, damage,
or loose hose clamps.
•
Service the air cleaner at the recommended
service interval or earlier if engine performance
suffers due to extremely dusty, dirty conditions.
Changing the air filter before it is necessary only
increases the chance of dirt entering the engine
when the filter is removed.
•
Ensure that the cover is seated correctly and seals
with the air-cleaner body.
1. Release the latches that secure the air-cleaner
cover to the air-cleaner body

2. Remove the cover from the air-cleaner body.
3. Before removing the filter, use low-pressure
air—276 kPa (40 psi), clean and dry—to help
remove large accumulations of debris packed
between the outside of primary filter and the
canister. Avoid using high-pressure air which
could force dirt through the filter into the intake
tract. This cleaning process prevents debris
from migrating into the intake when you remove
the primary filter.

of the filter.
7. Clean the dirt ejection port located in the
removable cover.
8. Remove the rubber outlet valve from the cover,
clean the cavity, and replace the outlet valve.

in a downward position—between approximately
5 o'clock to 7 o'clock when viewed from the end.
10. Secure the cover latches.
Checking the Engine-Oil
Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase;
however, the oil level must be checked before and
after the engine is first started.
The crankcase capacity is approximately 3.8 L (4.0
US qt) with the filter.
