Maintenance

Oil Level Inspection

1. Push machine to level surface.
2. Turn off LP cylinder and remove it.
3. Clean area around the oil gauge before removing it.
4. Remove the oil gauge and wipe it with a clean cloth.
5. The machine should be in an upright level position.
If necessary, place a block under the back of the
machine or apply weight to the front of the deck to
maintain an upright, level position.
6. Insert the oil gauge into the tube, but do not tighten
the oil gauge.
7. Check the oil level. It should be between the "FULL"
and "ADD" marks on the oil gauge.
Note: If the oil level is near or below the "ADD" mark,
remove the oil gauge and add enough engine oil to
bring oil level to the "FULL" mark. (Use only SH or SJ
SAE30 Oil)
Note: If the oil level is too high, remove the excess oil
by loosening the oil drain valve.
CAUTION! Do not fill above the "FULL" mark. Excess
oil will cause a smoking condition and may cause the
engine to overheat.

Oil Change

1. Change the oil after the first 8 hours of operation
and every 50 hours thereafter.
2. Start and warm the engine so the oil will drain eas-
ily and completely. Push machine to a level surface.
Stop the engine.
3. Turn off LP cylinder and remove it.
4. Remove cap on the end of oil drain valve.
5. Attach a piece of 1/2" tubing on the end of the oil
drain valve (approx. 8" long).
6. Place a suitable container under the end of the oil
drain hose.
WARNING! Be careful with hot oil being drained. It
may be hot enough to cause severe burns.
7. Slowly turn the valve counter-clockwise, approximate-
ly 1/8 of a turn, then gently pull the valve outward to
open the valve.
Note: In order for the oil to drain, it may be necessary
to loosen the oil fill cap.
8. When the oil has finished draining, push the oil drain
valve inward and turn the valve 1/8 turn clockwise.
Place cap back on the end of the valve.
9. Remove oil cap and add clean SH or SJ SAE 30 oil.
Use 1.6 U.S. qt. (1.5 L) when the filter is not changed
and 1.8 U.S. qt. (1.7 L) when filter is changed.
10. Screw in oil gauge. Reconnect the LP cylinder to
the fuel hose.
11. Run the engine at low idle for 2 minutes. Check
for leaks around the engine.
12. Stop the engine. Check the oil level (see Oil Level
Inspection section).

Oil Filter Replacement

1. Place a suitable container underneath the oil filter.
2. Using a strap wrench or oil filter wrench, remove the
oil filter. Turn the filter counter-clockwise to remove
it.
3. Apply a thin coat of new oil or grease to the oil
filter seal (A).
4. Install the new filter (Part # 56384270) by turning it
clockwise.
5. Turn the filter until the seal contacts the mounting
surface (B) of the engine. Then, turn the filter "BY
HAND" 3/4 turn more.
6. Reconnect the LP cylinder to the fuel hose.
7. Run the engine at low idle for 2 minutes. Check for
leaks around the engine.
8. Stop the engine. Check the oil level (see Oil Level
Inspection section).
