Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the reduction case to catch the
used oil, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, drain plug and
washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain
plug and a new washer, and tighten the plug securely.
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 or pour it on the ground
or pour it down a drain.
3. With the engine in a level position, fill with the recommended oil
(see page ) to the upper limit mark on the dipstick. To check the 8
oil level, insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into
the filler hole.
Reduction case oil capacity:
Running the engine with a low transmission oil level can cause
transmission damage.
4. Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick and tighten securely.

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 (see page ). 7
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. If equipped with an oil-bath air cleaner, also check
the oil level.
Refer to pages 10 − 11
and filter for your engine type.
