INITIAL SERVICING
The engine (Figure 3) must be checked for proper
lubrication and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to
the manufacturer's engine manual for detailed operation
and service instructions.
1. Fuel Filler Cap/Fuel Tank — Remove this cap to add
unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Refer to Table 3
or Table 4 for fuel tank capacity. Make sure the cap is
tightened securely. DO NOT overfill.
2. Throttle Lever — Adjusts engine RPM speed.
3. Engine ON/OFF Switch — ON position permits engine
starting. OFF position stops engine operation.
4. Recoil Starter — Manual starting method. Pull the
starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and
smoothly to start the engine.
5. Oil Drain Bolt — Remove this bolt to drain oil from the
engine's crankcase.
DANGER
Add fuel to the tank only when the engine
is stopped and has had an opportunity
to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill,
DO NOT attempt to start the engine until all
fuel residue has been completely wiped up
and the area surrounding the engine is dry.
6. Fuel Valve Lever — Open to allow fuel to flow. Close
to prevent fuel flow.
7. Oil Filler Cap/Dipstick — Remove this cap to
determine if engine oil is low. Add oil through this filler
port as recommended in Table 8.
8. Choke Lever — Used in cold weather conditions or
for the starting of a cold engine. The choke enriches
the fuel mixture.
9. Air Cleaner — Prevents dirt and other debris from
entering the fuel system. Remove the wing nut on
top of the air cleaner cover to gain access to the filter
elements.
10. Spark Plug — Provides spark to the ignition system.
Set the spark plug gap according to the engine
manufacturer's instructions. Clean the spark plug once
a week.
11. Muffler — Reduces noise and emissions. NEVER
touch the muffler while it is hot!
NOTICE
Operating the engine without an air cleaner, with a
damaged air cleaner, or with an air cleaner in need of
replacement will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing
rapid engine wear.
