MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
CHANGING ENGINE OIL:
Change oil after the first 20 hours of operation. Thereafter
it should be changed every 100 hours.
1. Drain oil by removing the drain plug and the oil filler
cap while the engine is warm. (Fig. 15)
2. Reinstall the drain plug and fill the engine with oil until
it reaches the upper level on the oil filler cap.
NOTE: Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil of API
service class SE or higher grade (SG, SH or SJ
is recommended). If contaminated or deteriorated
oil is used or the quantity of the engine oil is not
sufficient, the engine damage will result and its life
will be greatly shortened.
3. Dispose of used oil according to local zoning or
environmental regulations.
SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER:
Maintaining an air cleaner in proper condition is very
important. Dirt induced through improperly installed,
improperly serviced or inadequate elements damages
and wears out engines. Always keep the element clean.
(Fig. 16)
1. Unhook the cover and remove the cleaner element.
2. Urethane foam: Wash the element with fresh water.
Squeeze out the water then dry the element. (Do not
twist.)
