CHANGING THE OIL
Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow freely
and carry away more impurities.
1. Clean the area around the oil fill plug (Fig. 6) to prevent debris
from entering the oil fill hole.
2. Unscrew the oil fill plug.
3. Tip the unit vertically to pour the oil out of the oil fill hole and into
a container (Fig. 14). Allow ample time for complete drainage.
NOTE: Dispose of the old oil according to federal, state and local
regulations.
4. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
5. Pour 3.04 fl.oz. (90 ml) of SAE 30 SJ oil into the oil fill hole.
NOTE: DO NOT overfill. Refer to Checking the Oil Level.
NOTE: Use the empty oil bottle saved from the initial use to
measure the correct amount of oil. Fill the bottle to the top of the
label to approximate 3.04 fl.oz. (90 ml) of oil (Fig. 15).
6. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
7. Reinstall the oil fill plug.
NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug (Fig. 6).
MAINTAINING THE AIR FILTER
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always stop
the engine and allow it to cool before cleaning or maintaining
the unit.
Failure to maintain the air filter can result in poor performance or can
cause permanent damage to the engine. Engine failure due to
improper air filter maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Open the air filter cover by unscrewing the cover screw (Fig. 16).
2. Remove the air filter and the screen that sits behind it (Fig. 17).
3. Wash the air filter in detergent and water. Rinse the air filter
thoroughly and allow it to dry.
4. Lightly coat the air filter with clean SAE 30 oil.
5. Squeeze the air filter to spread and remove excess oil.
6. Reinstall the air filter and the screen that sits behind it (Fig. 17).
NOTE: Operating the unit without the air filter and air filter cover will
VOID the warranty.
7. Insert the hooks on the air filter housing into the slots on the air
filter cover (Fig. 17).
8. Swing the air filter cover to the left and align the cover screw
with the cover screw hole (Fig. 17). Tighten the cover screw to
