Install the oil filler cap/dipstick and tighten securely.
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck as shown,
but do not screw it in, then remove it to check the oil level.
Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick.
If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the
dipstick, fill with the recommended oil (see page
) to the
upper limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill hole). Do not overfill.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop
the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.
However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, fill to the upper limit, and check the oil level regularly.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage.
With the engine in a level position, fill with the recommended oil
to the upper limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill hole) on the
dipstick (see page
).
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.
Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and new washer, and tighten the oil drain plug securely.
Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and washer.
Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to
avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always
check the engine oil level before startup.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
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 element, or with a
damaged air filter element, will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not covered by
the Distributor’s Limited Warranty.
Remove the two screws and the air cleaner cover. Inspect the air
filter elements. Clean or replace dirty air filter elements. Always
replace damaged air filter elements.
Refer to page for instructions that apply to the air cleaner and
filter service.
Reinstall the air filter elements and air cleaner cover.
