ENGINE CARE
If major engine service or repair is required, contact
an authorized engine service center. The manufac-
turer of these engines has established an excellent
world-wide engine service organization. Engine ser-
vice is very likely available from a nearby authorized
dealer or distributor. Check the yellow pages of your
local telephone directory under “Engines-Gasoline”
for the closest engine repair center or ask the dealer
from whom you purchased the power plant.
1. Change the oil after the fi rst 5 hours of operation
and yearly or 100 hours thereafter under normal op-
erating conditions. Change engine oil every 50 hours
of operation if the engine is operated under heavy
load, or in high ambient temperatures.

and remove the spark plug wire to prevent it
from accidently being started.

the engine with oil to prevent overfi lling.

ways be checked before the engine is started. Take
care to remove any dirt or debris from around the
oil fi ll plug before removing. Be sure the oil level is
maintained. Fill to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.
