REPLACEMENT
Initial engine oil filter replacement
■
should be performed after 20 hours
of operation. Thereafter replace the
engine oil filter every 200 hours.
When installing a new oil filter, apply
■
oil to O-ring, attach the oil filter in
position and tighten 2/3 turns by
hand or with wrench after touching
the O-ring to the sealing surface of
engine.
Run the engine for a minute ; stop
■
the engine and check for oil leakage
around the oil filter and recheck the
oil level.
CLEANING AIR CLEANER
A dirty air cleaner element will cause
starting difficulty, power loss, engine
malfunctions, and shorten engine life
extremely.
Always keep the air cleaner element
clean. Replaced the air cleaner
element set more often in dusty
environments.
The air cleaner paper inner element
and urethane foam outer element can
be removed after removing knob and
air cleaner cover. When installing, set
the paper element and urethane foam
on the air cleaner base. Check that the
grommet is in position, and then install
the cover with knob tightened securely.
Urethane Foam cleaning
■
Wash and clean the urethane foam in
kerosene. Saturate in a mixture of 3
parts kerosene and 1 part engine oil,
and then squeeze to remove excess
oil. Clean or replace the urethane
foam element every 50 hours. (more
often in dusty environments)
