Oil Change

Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and sealing
washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and a new sealing washer, and tighten the oil drain plug
securely.
TORQUE: 18 N·m (13 lbf·ft, 1.8 kgf·m)
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with
the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed container
to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do
not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or pour it down a
drain.
3. With the engine in a level position, fill to the upper limit mark on the
dipstick with the recommended oil (see page 8).

AIR CLEANER

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty areas, clean the air
filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air filter, will
allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of
damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited Warranty.

Inspection

Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter elements.
Clean or replace dirty filter elements. Always replace damaged filter
elements.

Cleaning

1. Remove the wing nuts from
the air cleaner cover, and
remove the cover.
2. Remove the air filter elements.
3. Remove the foam air filter
element from the paper air
filter element.
4. Inspect both air filter
elements, and replace them if
they are damaged. Always
replace the paper air filter
element at the scheduled
interval (see page 7).
5. Clean the air filter elements if
they are to be reused.
Paper air filter element: Tap the filter element several times on a hard
surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding
207 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm
inside. Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will force dirt into the
fibers.
Foam air filter element: Clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow
to dry thoroughly. Or clean in non-flammable solvent and allow to
dry. Dip the filter element in clean engine oil, then squeeze out all

excess oil. The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in
the foam.

moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air duct that
leads to the carburetor.
