SERVICE THE AIR FILTER:
Notice - Do not use pressurized air or solvents to clean a stock air
lter.
Remove the pre-cleaner and air lter. Replace the lter
or pre-cleaner if damaged. To loosen debris, gently tap
the air cleaner on a hard surface. For K&N lters, follow
manufacturers cleaning instructions.
CLEAN THE AIR COOLING SYSTEM:
Notice - Do not use high pressure water to clean the engine. Water
could contaminate the fuel system. Use a brush or dry cloth to clean
the engine.
This is an air-cooled engine. Dirt or debris can restrict
airow and cause the engine to overheat resulting in
poor performance and shortened engine life. Use a brush
or dry cloth to remove debris from the intake guard,
cylinder heads and muer area. Inspect and clean the
cooling ns. Loosen the two front panel screws and clean
the area under the panel.
FUEL FILTER:
Use pliers to squeeze the tabs on the fuel lter clamps.
Slide the clamps away from the lter. Carefully remove
the fuel lter and properly dispose of any leaking fuel.
Check the fuel line for any cracks or leaks. Replace if
necessary. Replace the fuel lter with an original
equipment fuel lter. Secure the fuel lter with the hose
clamps. Use Briggs part number 691035 or any good
quality fuel lter 10 micron size or better.
STORAGE – FUEL SYSTEM:
Carburetted Models
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale
fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel
system and essential carburetor parts. To keep the fuel
fresh, use a fuel treatment and stabilizer, available at
most automotive stores.
8 Steps For Storing Carburetted Motors
1. Use Fresh Gasoline
2. Add Fuel Stabilizer - Using fresh, treated gasoline will help
clean and protect your engine.
3. Run The Engine For 10-15 Minutes - This will allow that
fresh treated gasoline to work its way through the engine
and hoses, replacing any of the old fuel.
4. Shut O Fuel To The Engine.
5. Run The Engine Until Completely Out Of Fuel - It is
important to store your motor completely empty of fuel.
6. Start Engine With Choke Open Until It No Longer Starts.
7. Perform Routine Maintenance - Now is the perfect time to
do another round of maintenance. Change the spark plugs,
change the air lter, change the fuel lter and change the
oil and oil lter.
8. Disconnect The Battery - This will increase the life of
your battery.
