Oil Change

Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the reduction case to catch the used
oil, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, drain plug and washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain plug
and a new washer, and tighten the plug securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the
environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed container to your
local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it
in the trash or pour it on the ground or pour it down a drain.
3. With the engine in a level position, fill with the recommended oil (see
page 8) to the upper limit mark on the dipstick. To check the oil level,
insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler hole.
Reduction case oil capacity: 0.30 L (0.32 US qt, 0.26 lmp qt)
Running the engine with a low transmission oil level can cause transmis-
sion damage.
4. Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick and tighten securely.

AIR CLEANER

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty areas, clean the air
filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (see
page 7).
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air filter, will
allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of
damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited Warranty.

Inspection

Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter elements. Clean or
replace dirty filter elements. Always replace damaged filter elements. If
equipped with an oil-bath air cleaner, also check the oil level.
Refer to pages 10 - 11 for instructions that apply to the air cleaner and
filter for your engine type.
