Maintenance

Servicing Paper Element

Service Interval: Every 25 hours (May need more often under extremely dusty or dirty conditions.)

Every 100 hours/Yearly (whichever comes first)—Replace the air cleaner element.

1.Remove the air cleaner cover (Figure 23).

2.Remove the air cleaner element with the integral rubber seal.

3.Gently tap the pleated side of the paper element to dislodge dirt. Do Not wash the paper element or use pressurized air, as this will damage the element. Replace a dirty, bent, or damaged element. Handle new elements carefully; Do Not use if the rubber seal or foam sleeve is damaged.

4.Clean all air cleaner components of any accumulated dirt or foreign material. Prevent any dirt from entering the carburetor.

5.Install the air cleaner element with the pleated side “out” and seat the rubber seal onto the edges of the air cleaner base.

6.Reinstall the air cleaner cover and secure with the knobs.

Servicing the Engine Oil

Checking the Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily

1.Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the blade control switch, stop the engine, engage parking brake, and remove the key.

2.Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is cool so the oil has had time to drain into the sump.

3.To keep dirt, grass clippings, etc., out of the engine, clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick before removing it.

4.Pull and remove the oil fill cap/dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the dipstick and push firmly into place (Figure 25).

5.Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.

The oil level should be up to, but not over, the “F” mark on the dipstick.

6.If the level is low, add oil of the proper type, up to the “F” mark on the dipstick. Always check the level with the dipstick before adding more oil.

Note: To prevent extensive engine wear or damage, always maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase. Never operate the engine with the oil level below the “L” mark or over the “F” mark on the dipstick.

Changing the Oil and Filter

Service Interval: After the first 5 hours

Every 100 hours/Yearly (whichever comes first) thereafter.

Change the oil and filter while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities. Make sure the engine is level when filling, checking, or changing the oil.

1.Start the engine and let it run until warm. This warms the oil so it drains better.

2.Disengage the blade control switch and move the motion controls outward to the neutral position and engage parking brake.
