Maintenance & Service Instructions
Prior to each use
1.) Check to see that the engine oil is is at proper level. Fill as needed. See owners manual for oil. At 40 deg
Fahrenheit or below, SAE 30 will result in hard starting, above 80 deg F and hotter, SAE 30 will increase
oil consumption. HOW TO CHECK: Place cold engine level. Clean around the dipstick. Remove the
dip stick and wipe with a clean cloth. Fully insert the dip stick. Remove the dip stick and check the oil level.
It should be at the top of the full indicator on the dip stick. If low, add oil slowly into the engine oil fill. DO
NOT OVERFILL! After adding oil, wait one minute and recheck level.
2.) Check the operation of the wireless vacuum remote prior to starting the engine.
3.) Check that all guards are secure and in place.
4.) Check the tension of the drive belts. They should be snug (about 1/2” deflection at center) but not so tight
that they could damage expensive equipment.
5.) Check the fuel filter. It should look clear and ensure there are no leaks in the entire fuel system.
6.) Check and clean, if needed, the screen located on top of the inlet cyclone as shown on the previous page.
WARNING: FUEL AND THE VAPORS FROM FUEL ARE EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND CAN
BE EXPLOSIVE. FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND EVEN DEATH.
When adding fuel, turn off the engine and allow to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap.
Fill the tank outdoors or in a very well ventilated area. Do not overfill fuel tank, there needs to be some
expansion room. Fill only to the bottom of the fill neck or to the full line. Keep all fuel away from sparks and
flames. If fuel spills, allow it to evaporate prior to starting the engine.
WARNING: ENGINES GIVE OFF CARBON MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS, COLORLESS AND
POISONOUS GAS. BREATHING THIS CAN CAUSE NAUSEA, FAINTING OR DEATH.
Always start and run engines outdoors. Do not start engine in enclosed area, even if the doors or windows
are open.
Engines when running produce heat. There are parts of the engine and exhaust system that get extremely
hot. Severe thermal burns can occur on contact, AND the heat may ignite combustible debris such as
leaves, grass, brush, paper, etc.
