Recommended Oil 
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets 
or exceeds the requirements for 
API service classification SH, SJ, 
or equivalent. Always check the 
API service label on the oil 
container to be sure it includes the 
letters SH, SJ, or equivalent.

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities 
shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature in your 
area is within the indicated range.

Oil Level Check 
1. Check the oil with the engine stopped and level.

2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.

3. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck as shown, then 

remove it to check the oil level. Do not screw it in.

4. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick, 

remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, and fill with the recommended oil 
to the upper limit mark. Do not overfill.

5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick.

Drain the engine oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly 
and completely.

1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position to reduce the possibility of 

2. Place a suitable container next to the engine to catch the used oil.

3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and drain the oil into the container 

by tipping the engine toward the oil filler neck.

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 
down a drain.

4. With the engine in a level position, fill to the upper limit mark on the 

dipstick with the recommended oil (see above).

Engine Oil Capacity: 0.58 qt (0.55 

)

5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor and cause poor 
engine performance. Inspect the filter elements each time the engine 
is operated. You will need to clean the filter elements more frequently if 
you operate the engine in very dusty areas.

Operating the engine without a filter, or with a damaged filter, will allow 
dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of 
damage is not covered under the Distributor’s Limited Warranty (see 
page 11).

Inspection   
1. Press the latch tabs on the top of the air cleaner cover, and remove 

the cover.

2. Remove the foam element from the air cleaner cover.

3. Remove the screen grid from the paper element.

4. Check both elements to be sure they are clean and in good 

condition.

5. Reinstall the screen grid over the paper element. Make sure that 

the screen grid completely surrounds the paper pleats

6. Reinstall the foam element in the air cleaner cover.

7. Set the paper element and screen grid in the air cleaner body then 

install the air cleaner cover.

Cleaning    
1. Paper Element: Tap the paper element several times on a hard 

surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding 30 
psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kg/cm²)] through the filter from the clean side that 
faces the engine. Never try to brush off dirt. Brushing will force dirt 
into the fibers.

2. Foam Element: Wash the element in a solution of household 

detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly, or wash in 
nonflammable or high flash point solvent. Allow the element to dry 
thoroughly.
Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess 
oil. The engine will smoke during initial start-up if too much oil is left 
in the foam, or the oil could saturate the paper element making the 
engine inoperable.

3. Wipe dirt from the air cleaner body and cover using a moist rag. Be 

careful to prevent dirt from entering the air duct that leads to the 
carburetor.
