Checking / Adding Fuel

To add fuel:

1.Remove the fuel cap.

2.Fill the tank to about 1-1/2” (3,81 cm) of the bottom of the filler neck. This will allow for fuel expansion.

NOTE: Do not overfill. Refer to your engine manual for specific fuel recommendations.

3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.

Fuel Filter

The fuel filter is located in the fuel line between fuel tank and carburetor, near the fuel pump. If filter is dirty or clogged, replace as follows:

1.Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2.Place a container below the filter to catch spilled fuel.

3.Using pliers, open and slide hose clamps from fuel filter.

4.Remove hoses from filter.

5.Install new filter in proper flow direction in fuel line.

6.Secure with hose clamps.

7.Reconnect the negative battery cable when finished.

Change Oil & Filter

1.Warm engine by running for a few minutes. (Refer to the engine operator’s manual for oil and filter replacement instructions.)

2.Remove the oil drain hose (A, Figure 20) from the cable clamp (C) that is located on the engine deck on the right-hand side of the frame. Place the drain hose down through the hole (E) in the engine deck.

3.Place a small pan under the oil drain hose to catch the oil. Using the appropriate tools, remove the cap (B, Figure 14) from the oil drain hose (A) and drain the engine oil into the pan.

4.After draining, replace the cap and wipe up any spilled oil. Reinstall the oil drain hose into the cable clamp to retain the hose during normal operation.

5.Place an absorbent shop cloth under the engine oil filter. Remove the engine oil filter and replace with a new one.

6.Remove the shop cloth and wipe up any spilled oil.

Engine Maintenance

Refer to engine owner’s manual for all engine maintenance procedures and recommendations.

Regular Maintenance

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills.

Do not remove fuel filter when engine is hot, as spilled gasoline may ignite. DO NOT spread hose clamps further than necessary. Ensure clamps grip hoses firmly over filter after installation.

NOTICE

Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL, gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, gasoline additives, premium gasoline, or white gas because engine/fuel system damage could result.
