Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Clean the filter by washing in any shop degreaser and
brushing the metal screen clean with a soft brush (Ref
Fig. 29 on page 17).
Blow out the filter with low pressure air 30 psi (210 kPa) or less
from no closer than 3" (8 cm) and allow to air dry (Ref Fig. 30 on
page 17).
Wipe the area around the filter mount with a clean, lint
free cloth and inspect both filter ‘O’ rings for damage;
replace if necessary. Install the filter into the engine. The
filter engages over a short nipple in the engine. The filter
should slide easily onto nipple and seat against the
engine using light hand pressure only. Align holes in filter
mounting plate with holes in the engine. Install and snug
bolts before tightening them firmly.
Oil capacity is 1 1/2 quarts (1.4 liters). Add slightly less
than 1 1/2 quarts (1.4 liters) to allow for possible residual
oil left in engine. The oil must be high quality oil that
meets or exceeds API SF, SG, CC standards. Check oil
level on dipstick. Oil should be slightly below "F" to allow
for expansion. If necessary, continue to add oil slowly
and allow time for oil to flow down into engine. Check oil
level on dipstick. Do not overfill.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may
cause smoking and/or allow oil to enter
the air intake system.
Inspect ‘O’ rings and replace if necessary (Ref Fig. 31 on
page 17). Install the oil fill cap. Run the vehicle for one or
two minutes and check the filter for oil leaks.
As a final check, check the oil level again with the vehicle
on level ground. Like all liquids, oil increases in volume
when warm. The full ‘F’ mark on the dipstick is calibrated
for an engine at operating temperature. When the engine
is cold, the oil will be below the full mark. The engine can
be operated safely as long as the oil is within the safe
operating range as indicated on the dipstick. DO NOT
operate vehicle if oil level is below the safe area indi-
cated on the dipstick.
AIR CLEANER INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT
The air cleaner element is accessible by unsnapping the
clips on the air canister and removing the cover (Ref Fig.
32 on page 17). Clean inside of cover, canister and dust
collector. Install the element in the same way it was
removed
being sure all clips are fastened securely.
Cleaning the Air Filter Element
If the element is in acceptable condition, loose dirt may
be removed by tapping the filter lightly. Do not use oil on
the filter element or any part of the unit. Install the ele-
ment in the same way it was removed, being sure that
the clips are fastened securely.
