The engine (Figure 2) must be checked for proper lubrication and
filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers Engine
manual for instructions & details of operation and servicing.

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

BASIC ENGINE
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, causing rapid engine wear.
NOTICE
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.
