					FIG. 7				oil_visc_chart1_e
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F (0°C). Check your engine oil level more frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.
Change the oil after the first two hours of operation and
every 25 hours thereafter or at least once a year if the
tiller is not used for 25 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Add SAE
30 motor oil or equivalent. Tighten oil filler plug securely											8
each time you check the oil level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 6 and 7)

Determine temperature range expected before oil change. All oil must meet API service classification SF or SG.

•Be sure tiller engine is level.

•Oil will drain more freely when warm.

•Catch oil in a suitable container.

•Remove drain plug.

•Tip tiller forward to drain oil.

•After oil has drained completely, replace oil drain plug and tighten securely.

•Remove oil filler plug. Be careful not to allow dirt to enter the engine.

•Refill engine with oil. See “CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL” in the Operation section of this manual.

AIR FILTER FOAM PRE-CLEANER (See Fig. 8)

Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged by using a dirty air filter. Remove cartridge every 25 hours and tap to clean. Replace paper cartridge once a year or after every 100 hours of operation, more often if used in very dusty, dirty conditions.

•Remove wing nut and cover.

•Remove foam pre-cleaner element by sliding it off of the paper cartridge.

•Wash foam pre-cleaner in liquid detergent and water.

•Wrap foam pre-cleaner in cloth and squeeze dry.
