Engine Maintenance

Servicing the Air Cleaner

Service the air cleaner foam pre-cleaner after every 50
operating hours and the air cleaner cartridge after every 100
operating hours (more frequently when operating conditions
are dusty or dirty).
1. Release the locking clips and remove the air cleaner
cover (Figure 44). Clean the cover thoroughly.

2. Remove the wing nut securing the elements to the air
cleaner body.
3. If the foam element is dirty, remove it from the paper
element (Figure 45). Clean it thoroughly, as follows:
A. Wash the foam element in a solution of liquid
soap and warm water. Squeeze it to remove dirt,
but do not twist it because the foam may tear.
B. Dry it by wrapping it in a clean rag. Squeeze the
rag and foam element dry.

4. When servicing the foam element, check the condition
of the paper element. Clean it by gently tapping it on a
flat surface or replace it if needed.
5. Install the foam element, paper element, and air cleaner
cover.
Important: Do not operate the engine without the
air cleaner element because extreme engine wear
and damage will likely result.
Changing the Engine Oil and
Filter
Change the oil and filter after the first 25 hours of operation.
Thereafter, change them every 100 hours.
1. Remove the drain plug (Figure 46) and let oil flow into
a drain pan. When the oil stops, install the drain plug.

clean oil to the new filter gasket.
3. Screw the filter on by hand until the gasket contacts
the filter adapter, then tighten 3/4 to 1 turn further.
Do not overtighten.
4. Add oil to the crankcase; refer to
Checking the Engine Oil (page 19).
5. Dispose of the used oil properly.
