  • Page 9 05/12/16 15:00:32 32Z6J600_009 Oil Level Check Check the engine oil level before each use, or every 10 hours if operated continuously. Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level position. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.

  • Page 10 05/12/16 15:00:48 32Z6J600_010 AIR CLEANER A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty areas, clean the air filter element more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. Operating the engine without an air filter element, or with a damaged air filter element, will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
