Oil Service
Check oil level regularly.
Be sure correct oil level is maintained. Check every five 
hours or daily before starting engine. See oil checking 
procedure in the Operation section.
Oil Change
IMPORTANT: Be sure to check engine on a level surface with the 
engine stopped. Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to 
assure rapid and complete draining.
Remove all fuel from tank by running engine until it stops 
from lack of fuel.
Remove drain plug and allow oil to drain into a suitable 
container. See Fig. 10-1.
WARNING: 
Before tipping engine or equipment to 
drain oil, drain fuel from tank by running engine 
until fuel tank is empty.
Reinstall the drain plug and tighten it securely.
Refill with the recommended oil (see Operation section) 
and check the oil level. See Fig. 10-1.
Reinstall the oil fill cap securely.
IMPORTANT: Used motor oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly 
left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this 
is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still 
advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as 
soon as possible after handling used oil.
NOTE: Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is 
compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a 
sealed container to your local service station for reclamation. Do 
not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground.

Paper filters cannot be cleaned and must be replaced once a year 
or every 100 operating hours; more often if used in extremely 
dusty conditions.

Never use gasoline or low flash point 
solvents for cleaning the air cleaner element. A fire 
or explosion could result.
IMPORTANT: Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid 
engine wear will result.
Remove the wing bolt and the air cleaner cover. Remove 
the elements and separate them. See Fig. 10-2. Replace 
paper element when dirty or damaged. Clean foam 
element or replace when damaged.
To clean foam element, separate it from the paper element
