INITIAL SERVICING

The engine (Figure 1A) must be checked for proper lubrication and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers Engine manual for instructions & details of operation and servicing.

1. Choke Lever Used when starting the engine. Normally used in cold weather conditions. In cold weather turn the choke lever to the fully closed position, in warm weather set choke lever half way or completely open.

2. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set spark plug gap to 0.024 - 0.028 inch (0.6 - 0.7 mm). Clean spark plug once a week.

3. Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and smoothly.

Operating the engine without an air filter, with a damaged air filter, or a filter in need of replacement will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

4. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.

WARNING

Engine components can generate extreme heat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas while the engine is running or immediately after operating.NEVER

operate the engine with the muffler removed.

5.

Dipstick/Oil Filler Cap – Remove this cap to determine if

 

the engine oil is low. Add oil through this filler port as

 

recommended in Table 3.

6.

Oil Drain Plug – Remove this plug to remove oil from the

 

engine's crankcase.
