CAUTION

The oil fill plug/dipstick MUST BE INSTALLED SECURELY INTO THE FILL PORT AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING.

AIR CLEANER

Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the engine. Check for loose or damaged components and check the condition of the filter element. Remove any buildup of dirt and debris in the air cleaner housing.

NOTE

Operating the engine with loose or damaged air cleaner components will allow unfiltered air into the carburetor; causing extensive wear and eventual failure of the engine.
