INITIAL SERVICING

The engine (Figure 2) 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. Secondary Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter cannister to gain access to filter element.

2. 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.

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

4. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.

NOTE

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.
