MAINTENANCE

Engine oil

Oil change

Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete draining.

1. Remove the oil filler cap and the drain plug to drain the oil.

2. Install the drain plug, and tighten it securely.

3. Refill with the recommended oil and check oil level.

4. Install the oil filter cap.

Engine oil capacity: 1,1 l (1,06 USqt., 1,78 lmp pt)

Air filter

Air filter service

A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburettor. To prevent carburettor malfunction, service the air filter

regularly. Service more freqently when operating the engine in extremely dusty areas.

Warning: Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning the air cleaner element. A fire or ex-

plosion could result.

Caution: Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result.

Dual type air filter

1. Remove the wing nut and the air filter cover. Remove the elements and separate them. Carefully check both

elements for holes or tears and replace if damaged.

2. Foam element: Wash the element in a solution of household detergent and warm water, then rinse thor-

oughly, or wash in nonflammable or high flash point solvent. Allow the element to dry thoroughly. Soak

the element in clean engine oil, and squeeze out the excess oil. The engine will smoke during initial start-

up if too much oil is left in the foam.

3. Paper element: Tap the element lightly serveral times on a hard surface to remove excess dirt, or blow com-

pressed air through the filter from the inside out. Never try to brush the dirt off; brushing will force dirt into

the fibers.

Replace the paper element if it is excessively dirt.

Fuel tank

Fuel strainer cup cleaning

Turn the fuel valve to Off. Remove the sediment cup and O-ring, and wash them in nonflammable or high flash

point solvent. Dry them thoroughly, and reinstall securely. Turn the fuel valve on, and check for leaks.
