Pre-Operation Checks
Caution: Failure to add oil to the Engine before use will damage the Engine and void the fac-
tory warranty. Engine oil is the key factor in engine performance. Do not use Engine oil
with additives; Do not use two-stroke gasoline-oil. Using these will shorten Engine life.
See Specifications on page 2 for recommended oil type.
Check that all installation mounting nuts and bolts are tight.
Check oil level (See illustration below, left.) If needed, add oil as specified on page 2.
Unscrew the oil Dip Stick and wipe clean. Insert the Dip Stick back into the hole without
screwing it in. Remove it again and check the oil level. Full is indicated by oil on the
Upper Level mark. Use a siphon to avoid spilling the oil. Carefully screw the plastic Dip
Stick back into the metal Engine crankcase to avoid stripping the plastic threads on the
Dip Stick.
Check Air Filter. (See illustration above, right.) Unscrew Air Filter Housing Nut and
remove the Air Filter Housing and Filter Elements. If dirty or dusty, clean (refer to the
Maintenance Section).
Caution: Never run the Engine without the Air Filter assembly. Damage will occur to En-
gine.
Remove the debris filter, clean and replace it before filling. Fill the Gas Tank (outdoors)
with up to 0.95 of a gallon of unleaded gasoline containing at least 86 octane. Do not
top-off tank. Replace Gas Cap. Clean up any spilled gas with a dry cloth.
Fire Hazard! Do not fill Gas Tank when the Engine is running, or near a pilot light or open
flame; Do not smoke. Do not operate if gasoline has been spilled. Clean spilled gasoline
before starting the engine.
