Remove the oil filler cap, and wipe the dipstick with a
clean rag. Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick in
the filler hole without screwing it in.
If the oil level is below the end of the dipstick, refill the
recommended oil up to the top of the oil filler neck.
The Oil Alert System will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.
However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, it is still advisable to visually inspect the
oil level regularly.

OIL CHANGE

Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid
and complete draining.
Make sure to turn the engine switch and the fuel cap
vent lever OFF before draining.
Remove the maintenance cover screws (7).
Remove the oil dipstick.
Tilt the equipment over a bucket and carefully drain the
oil.
Refill again with oil and check the level.
Replace the cover and tighten the retaining screws.Wash
your hands with soap and water after handing used
oil.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that
is compatible with the environment. We suggest you
take it in a sealed container to your local service
station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or
pour it on the ground.
FUEL
Turn the fuel cap 14 lever to "OFF" position before
transporting.
Use automotive fuel (Unleaded or low leaded is preferred
to minimize combustion chamber deposits). Gasoline is
used without oil.

into the engine.

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

Adirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburettor.
To prevent carburettor malfunction, service the air cleaner

cleaning. They are flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.
