Maintenance

Perform the scheduled maintenance procedures as defined by Table 6 and below:

DAILY

■Thoroughly remove dirt and oil from the engine and control area. Clean or replace the air cleaner elements as necessary. Check and retighten all fasteners as necessary. Check the gearbox for oil leaks. Repair or replace as needed.

WEEKLY

■Remove the fuel filter cap and clean the inside of the fuel tank.

■Remove or clean the filter at the bottom of the tank.

■Remove and clean the spark plug (Figure 19), then adjust the spark gap to 0.024 ~0.028 inch (0.6~0.7 mm). This unit has electronic ignition, which requires no adjustments.

ENGINE OIL

1.Drain the engine oil when the oil is warm as shown in Figure 20.

2.Remove the oil drain bolt and sealing washer and allow the oil to drain into a suitable container.

3.Replace engine oil with recommended type oil as listed in Table 5. For engine oil capacity, see Table 2 (engine specifications). DO NOT overfill.

4.Install drain bolt with sealing washer and tighten se- curely.

Cleaning the Fuel Strainer

Clean the fuel strainer if it contains dust or water. Remove dust or water in the strainer cap and wash it in gasoline. Securely fasten the fuel strainer cap so that fuel will not leak. Check the fuel strainer every 200 hours of operation or once a month.

DANGER

DO NOT use gasoline as a cleaning solvent, because that would create a risk of fire or explosion.

ENGINE AIR CLEANER

1.Remove the air cleaner cover and foam filter element as shown in Figure 21.

2.Tap the paper filter element (Figure 21) several times on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm2)] through the filter element from the air cleaner case side. NEVER brush off dirt. Brushing will force dirt into the fibers. Replace the paper filter element if it is excessively dirty.
