5.If the impeller does not loosen, obtain a 3/4-16x3” (Billy Goat part #440192) or longer bolt. Thread bolt by hand into nut until bolt rests against the shaft. Tighten the bolt slowly, which will pull the impeller away from the shaft, remove impeller from shaft. Using a penetrating oil can help loosen a stuck impeller.

6.Reinstall new impeller in reverse order of removal.

7.Tighten impeller bolt. Torque impeller bolt (see parts list on page 15 for proper impeller bolt torque specifications).

TIRE AIR PRESSURE

Check at regular intervals and maintain.

Front Tires - 24 Psi (165 kPa).

Rear Tires - 20 Psi (137 kPa).

STORAGE

Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliance.

If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:

Remove all gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container, away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine runs out of gasoline.

Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil TM) is an acceptable alternative for minimizing the formation of gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in storage container or fuel tank. Follow stabilizer manufacturer’s instructions to determine proper mix ratio. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach carburetor.
