3.) Change engine oil and filter. With the engine off, but still
warm, disconnect the spark plugs and remove the key. Remove
the oil drain plug and drain the used oil into an approved
container. After the oil has drained, reinstall the drain plug.
Remove the oil filter (C) from the engine and dispose of properly.
Before you install the new filter, lightly lube the filter gasket with
fresh, clean engine oil. Install the new filter by hand until the
gasket contacts the oil filter adapter block, then tighten one half
to three quarter more of a turn. Add oil, start and run the engine,
check for leaks. Shut off engine, wait 2 minutes, check oil level,
fill as needed.

4.) Clean or replace the spark plugs, depending on last years usage. Briggs and Stratton recommends
this every 100 hours or annually.
5.) Check the muffler and spark arrestor, if equipped, for proper operation and installation.
6.) Clean the air filter. Do not use pressurized air or solvents. Remove the
center nut and retainer. Remove the air filter and the pre cleaner element
from the air filter. Tap the filter on a hard surface gently, if the filter is
very dirty, replace it. Wash the pre cleaner in liquid detergent and water.
Allow it to air dry. DO NOT OIL. Assemble the dry pre cleaner to the
filter element and reinstall the complete assembly.
