the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter
cannister to gain access to filter element.
NOTE
Operating the engine without an air
filter, with a damaged air filter, or a
filter in need of replacement will
allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear.
10. Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional
information refer to engine owner's manual.
11. Oil Drain Plug – Remove this plug to remove oil from
the engine's crankcase.
12. Dipstick/Oil Filler Cap – Remove this cap to determine
if the engine oil is low. Add oil through this filler port as
recommended in Table 3.
9. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.
Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when the
engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to cool
down. In the event of a fuel spill,
DO NOT attempt to start the engine until
the fuel residue has been completely
wiped up, and the area surrounding the
engine is dry.
