REMOVE ENGINE OIL
Used oil is a hazardous waste product and must be disposed of properly. Do not discard with household
waste. Check with your local authorities, service center, or dealer for safe disposal/recycling facilities.

empty the fuel tank, run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.

you put it in a sealed container to your local service for reclamation. Do not throw it away into the refuge
collection or pour it on the ground or in drains.
AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter will block air flow into the carburettor. To prevent carburettor malfunction, service the air filter
regularly. Service more frequently when operating the engine in extremely dusty areas.
1. Remove the air filter cover. Remove the filter. Carefully check both for holes and tears and replace it if
damaged.
2. Foam element: clean in warm soapy water, rinse and allow to dry thoroughly or clean in high flash-point
solvent and allow to dry. Dip the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out all the excess. The engine
will smoke during initial start-up if too much oil is left in the foam.
Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents to clean the air cleaner element. A fire or explosion
Never run the engine without air filter or rapid engine wear will be the result.
