MAINTENANCE
ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT
1. Replace engine oil, first in 25 hours of operation and
every 50 to 100 hours afterwards.
2. Drain the engine oil when the oil is warm as shown in
Figure 20.
3. Remove the oil drain bolt and sealing washer and allow
the oil to drain into a suitable container.
4. Replace engine oil with recommended type oil as listed
in Table 4. Engine oil capacity is 1.16 quarts (1.1 liters).
DO NOT overfill.
5. Install drain bolt with sealing washer and tighten
securely.
AIR CLEANER
1. Remove the air cleaner cover and foam filter element
as shown in Figure 21.
3. Clean foam element in warm, soapy water or
nonflammable solvent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Dip
the element in clean engine oil and completely squeeze
out the excess oil from the element before installing.
CHECKING AND REPLACING THE V-BELT AND
CLUTCH
After 200 hours of operation, remove the belt cover to check
the V-belt tension (Figure 23). Tension is proper if the belt
bends about 3/8”(10 mm) when depressed strongly with
finger between shafts. Loose or worn V-belts reduce power
transmission efficiency, causing weak compaction and
reduces the life of the belt itself.
Replacing the V-belt
Remove the belt cover. Engage an offset wrench 3/4”(19
mm) or the like to vibrator pulley (lower) fastening bolt.
Engage waste cloth or the like at midway of V-belt on the
left side and while pulling it back strongly, rotate the offset
wrench clockwise so that the V-belt will come off.

caught between the belt and clutch (Figure 22). Always
wear safety gloves.
