Note:
For operating and maintenance instructions,
consult the Operator Manual for this engine.
Check engine oil level
– Engine oil level must be between the MIN
and MAX markings on the dipstick.
Top up engine oil
– The dipstick hole is used to add new oil to the
engine. For oil type and required volume,
check unit "Specifications".
Change engine oil
– Place a suitable catch tray beside the unit.
– While holding oil drain hose in catch tray,
remove oil plug and allow engine oil to drain.
– Securely replace oil drain plug.
– Fill engine with new oil. For oil type and re-
quired volume, refer to "Specifications".
Note:
Ensure environmentally safe disposal of
used engine oil.
Clean air filter element
When filter element is dirty, replace the paper
filter element (2). To clean filter element, blow
through with compressed air from the inside out,
or firmly tap on hard surface to dislodge caked-
on dust. Do not brush off because this would
press dust particles into paper fibers.
Wash foam ring (2) with a mild solution of house-
hold detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
Immerse foam insert in clean engine oil, and
squeeze to remove excess oil. If too much oil is
allowed to remain in foam insert the engine will
smoke while running.
