Engine Maintenance
Air Filter
The air filter should be checked every month for dust
and dirt accumulation. Every 6 months, the filter element
should be removed and cleaned. Clean the foam element
with detergent and warm water. Squeeze out excess water
and let it dry. Before reinstalling the filter element, soak it
with engine oil and squeeze out the excess. Reinstall the
filter. The engine will smoke upon start-up if too much oil is
left in the filter element.
Oil Level
The oil level should be checked before each use.
Oil Change
The oil should be changed in the first month, and then
every 6 months (or 100 hours of operation). To drain the
oil, run the engine until warm. Turn off the engine, remove
the oil drain plug, and let the oil drain into a pan. Reinstall
the plug and fill with oil. (Capacity: 20 ounces.)
Note: Dispose of used oil responsibly. DO NOT pour it
down drains, onto the ground or put it in the trash. Most
communities have collection points for used oil.
Spark Plug
The spark plug should be checked and cleaned every 6
months or 100 hours.
The spark plug should be replaced if it is damaged or
excessively worn.
