Engine Maintenance

Engine Safety

Shut off the engine before checking the oil or adding oil to
the crankcase.

Servicing the Air Cleaner

Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the
air-cleaner indicator
Every 50 hours—Inspect the air cleaner.
Every 400 hours—Service the air cleaner (earlier if the
air cleaner indicator shows red, and more frequently in
extremely dirty or dusty conditions).
Check the air-cleaner body for damage, which could cause an
air leak. Replace it if it is damaged. Check the whole intake
system for leaks, damage, or loose hose clamps.
Service the air-cleaner filter only when the service indicator
requires it (Figure 46). Changing the air filter before it is
necessary only increases the chance of dirt entering the engine
when you remove the filter.

possibility of damage to the filter media.

(Figure 48). Replace the safety filter after every 3
primary filter services.
