I.Oil Fill Cap/Dipstick

If your engine has an oil fill cap/dipstick go to step 1. If your engine does NOT have an oil fill cap/dipstick, see "II. Oil Fill Cap/Plug" instructions on page 16.

1.Carefully disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark plug. See Figures 30 and 31. See "G. Avoid Accidental Starts" instructions on page 2. Afterward, continue reading instructions below.

•Keep the disconnected spark plug wire securely away from metal parts where arcing could occur.

•Carefully attach the spark plug wire to the grounding post, if provided.

2.Be sure fuel fill cap is on and tightened securely. See Figure 32.
