5) Set the engine level, and gradually fill up to upper limit mark with new oil.
6) After filling, tightly secure oil cap, so that it will not loosen and cause leaks.
If oil cap is not tightly secured, it may leak.
POINTS ON OIL
– Never discard replaced engine oil in garbage, earth or sewage ditch. Disposal of oil is regulated by law. In disposal, always follow the
relevant laws and regulations. For any points remaining unknown, contact Authorized Service Agent.
– Oil will deteriorate even when it is kept unused. Perform inspection and replacement at regular intervals (replace with new oil every 6
months).
CLEANING OF AIR CLEANER
DANGER: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED
Interval of Cleaning and Inspection: Daily (every 10 operating hours)
– Turn the choke lever to the full close side, and keep the carburetor off from
dust or dirt.
– Loosen air cleaner cover mounting bolt.
– Pull the cover and detach the air cleaner cover.
– If oil adheres to the element (sponge), squeeze it firmly.
– For heavy contamination:
1) Remove the element (sponge), immerse it in warm water or in water-
diluted neutral detergent, and dry it completely.
2) Clean the element (felt) with gasoline, and dry it completely.
– Before attaching the element, be sure to dry it completely. Insufficient drying
of the element may lead to difficult startup.
– Wipe out with waste cloth, oil adhering around the air cleaner cover and plate
breather part.
– Immediately after cleaning is finished, attach the cleaner cover and tighten it
with fixing bolts. (In remounting, first place the upper claw, and then the lower
claw.)
Points in Handling Air Cleaner Element
– Clean the element several times a day, if excessive dust adheres to it.
– If operation continues with the element remaining not cleared of oil, oil
in the air cleaner may fall outside, resulting in oil contamination.
