Checking / Adding Fuel
To add fuel:
1. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Fill the tank to about 1-1/2” (3,81 cm) of the
bottom of the filler neck. This will allow for fuel
expansion.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Refer to your engine manual
for specific fuel recommendations.
3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.
4. Repeat process for other side.
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter is located in the fuel line between fuel
tank and carburetor, near the fuel pump. If filter is
dirty or clogged, replace as follows:
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Place a container below the filter to catch spilled
fuel.
3. Using pliers, open and slide hose clamps from fuel
filter.
4. Remove hoses from filter.
5. Install new filter in proper flow direction in fuel line.
6. Secure with hose clamps.
7. Reconnect the negative battery cable when
finished.
Change Oil & Filter
1. Warm engine by running for a few minutes.
(Refer to the engine operator’s manual for oil &
filter replacement instructions.)
2. Place the oil drain hose (A, Figure 14) down
through the hole (D) in the engine deck.
3. Place a small pan under the oil drain hose to
catch the oil. Using the appropriate tools, remove
the cap (B) from the drain hose and drain the
engine oil into the pan.
4. Replace the cap and wipe up any spilled oil.
5. Place an absorbent shop cloth under the engine
oil filter. Remove the engine oil filter and replace
with a new one.
6. Remove the shop cloth and wipe up any spilled
oil.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and must be
handled with care. Never fill the tank when the
engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not
allow open flame, smoking or matches in the
area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills.
Do not remove fuel filter when engine is hot,
as spilled gasoline may ignite. DO NOT spread
hose clamps further than necessary. Ensure
clamps grip hoses firmly over filter after
installation.
