ENGINE OIL

1.Drain the engine oil when the oil is warm as shown in Figure 20.

2.Remove the oil drain bolt and sealing washer and allow the oil to drain into a suitable container.

3.Replace engine oil with recommended type oil as listed in Table 5. For engine oil capacity, see Table 2 (engine specifications). DO NOT overfill.

4.Install drain bolt with sealing washer and tighten se- curely.

Cleaning the Fuel Strainer

Clean the fuel strainer if it contains dust or water. Remove dust or water in the strainer cap and wash it in gasoline. Securely fasten the fuel strainer cap so that fuel will not leak. Check the fuel strainer every 200 hours of operation or once a month.

DANGER

DO NOT use gasoline as a cleaning solvent, because that would create a risk of fire or explosion.

ENGINE AIR CLEANER

1.Remove the air cleaner cover and foam filter element as shown in Figure 21.

2.Tap the paper filter element (Figure 21) several times on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm2)] through the filter element from the air cleaner case side. NEVER brush off dirt. Brushing will force dirt into the fibers. Replace the paper filter element if it is excessively dirty.
