INITIAL SERVICING
The engine (Figure 6) must be checked for proper lubrication and
filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers Engine
manual for instructions & details of operation and servicing.
1. Air Filter –
A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the
carburetor, reducing engine performance. When the engine
is operated in very dusty conditions, clean the air filter more
often than specified in the Maintenance Schedule.
To Change/Clean Air Filter
■
Remove Air Filter Wing Nut and pull the Air Filter
Element out of the filter housing
■
Replace, or clean by using low pressure compressed
(30 psi MAX) from inside out.
2. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded
gasoline (86 Octane rating or higher) to the fuel tank. Make
sure cap is tightened securely.
The engine fuel tank holds
approximately 2 gallons of gasoline
. DO NOT over fill.
Adding fuel to the tank should be accomplished
only when the engine is stopped and has had an
opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel
spill, DO NOT attempt to start the engine until the fuel residue
has been completely wiped up, and the area surrounding the
engine is dry.
3. Oil Filler Cap –Check the engine oil level with the engine
stopped and in a level position. Oil is a major factor affecting
engine performance and service life. Use 4-stroke
automotive detergent oil.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Refer to
manufacturers Engine Manual for further data regarding
other viscositiies/temperature limits.
ENGINE OIL REFILL CAPABILITIES:
■
Without Oil Filter Replacement:
1.27 qt. (1.20 L)
■
With Oil Filter Replacement:
1.59 qt. (1.20 L)
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause
engine damage. The oil alert system will automatically
stop the engine before the oil level falls below safe limits;
however, it is advisable to always check the engine oil
level before startup.
NOTE
Operating the engine without an air filter,
with a damaged air filter, or a filter in need of
replacement will allow dirt to enter the
engine, causing rapid engine wear.
