INITIAL SERVICING
The engine (Figure 1-A) must be checked for proper lubrication and
filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturer's Engine
manual for instructions and details of operation and servicing.
1. Secondary Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris
from entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of
air filter cannister to gain access to filter element.
2. Choke Lever –Used when starting the engine. Normally
used in cold weather conditions. In cold weather turn the
choke lever to the fully closed position, in warm weather
set choke lever half way or completely open.
3. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set
spark plug gap to 0.02 - 0.03 inch (0.6 - 0.7 mm). Clean
spark plug once a week.
4. Engine ON/OFF Switch – Controls the starting and
stopping of the engine. Switch must be in the "ON" position
when starting the engine.
7. Dipstick/Oil Filler Cap – Remove this cap to determine if
the engine oil is low. Add oil through this filler port as
recommended in Table 3.
8. Oil Drain Plug – Remove this plug to remove oil from the
engine's crankcase.
5. Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull
the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and
smoothly.
6. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.
Operating the engine without an
air filter, with a damaged air filter,
or a filter in need of replacement
will allow dirt to enter the engine,
NOTE
Engine components can generate extreme heat.
To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas
while the engine is running or immediately after
operating. NEVER operate the engine with the
muffler removed.
