filter every 100 hours. However, change oil more
frequently when engine is operated in extremely dusty
or dirty conditions.
Note: After filling or changing oil, start and run the
engine at idle for 30 seconds. Shut engine off. Wait 30
seconds and check oil level. Add enough oil to raise
level to FULL mark on dipstick.

Because gasoline is flammable, caution must be used
when storing or handling it. Do not fill fuel tank
while engine is running, hot or when machine is in
an enclosed area. Vapors may build up and be ignited
by a spark or flame source many feet away. DO NOT
SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to prevent the
possibility of an explosion. Always fill fuel tank
outside and wipe up any spilled gasoline before
starting engine. Use a funnel or spout to prevent
spilling gasoline, and fill tank no higher than one
inch below top of tank, (bottom of filler neck). DO
NOT OVER FILL. Store gasoline in a clean, safety-
approved container and keep the cap on the
container. Keep gasoline in a cool, well-ventilated
place; never in an enclosed area such as a hot storage
shed. To assure volatility, do not buy more than a 30-
day supply of gasoline. Gasoline is a fuel for internal
combustion engines; therefore do not use it for any
other purpose. Since many children like the smell of
gas, keep it out of their reach because the fumes are
explosive and dangerous to inhale.
1. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap.
2. Remove the fuel tank cap.
3. Fill the tank to about 2.5cm below top of tank,
(bottom of filler neck). DO NOT OVERFILL.
Then install the cap.
4. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled to prevent
a fire hazard.
