OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION

WARNING: OVERFILLING OIL CRANKCASE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Check and maintain the proper oil level in the crank case; it is important and cannot be overemphasized. Check the oil before each use and change it as needed.

See Changing the Oil.

Using Blended Fuels

If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:

•Always use fresh unleaded gasoline

•Use a gas stabilizer fuel additive

•Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit

RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE

Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important. Check the oil before each use and change the oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, can cause premature engine wear and failure.

Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.

Using Fuel Additives

The use of a gas stabilizer will inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. Using a fuel additive can keep fuel from forming harmful deposits in the carburetor for up to six (6) months. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's gas tank.

ADDING OIL TO CRANKCASE: INITIAL USE

NOTE: This unit is shipped without oil. In order to avoid damage to the unit, put oil in the crankcase before you attempt to start the unit.

Your unit is supplied with one 3.04 fluid oz. (90 ml.) bottle of SAE 30 SF, SG, SH oil (Fig. 9).

RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE

Old fuel is the primary reason for improper unit performance. Be sure to use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline.

NOTE: This is a four cycle engine. In order to avoid damage to the unit, do not mix oil with gasoline.

Definition of Blended Fuels

Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1% water in the fuel can form acids when stored. Use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old), when using alcohol-blended fuel.

WARNING: Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated outdoor area. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilt fuel. Do not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.

WARNING: Gasoline is extremely flammable. Ignited vapors may explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling the tank. Keep sparks and open flames at a distance from the area.

FUELING THE UNIT

1.Remove the fuel cap (Fig. 12).

WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel spray. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

The importance of checking and maintaining the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized. Check oil before each use:

1.Stop the engine and allow oil to drain into the crankcase.

2.Place the engine on a level surface (Fig. 21).

Fig. 21

3.Raise the rear of the unit 3.5 inches to get a proper oil level reading (Fig. 21).

4.Clean the area around the dipstick before removing it. Keep dirt, grass clippings, and other debris out of the engine.

5.Remove the oil fill plug.

6.Look into the oil fill hole (use a flashlight if needed). The oil should be just touching the innermost thread (Fig. 22).

7.If the oil level is not touching the innermost thread on the oil fill hole, add a small amount of oil to the oil fill hole and recheck (Fig. 22). Repeat this procedure until the oil level reaches the innermost thread on the oil fill hole.

NOTE: Do not overfill the unit.

NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug when checking and changing the oil (Fig. 23).

CHANGING THE OIL

WARNING: Wear gloves to prevent injury when handling unit.

For a new engine, change the oil after the first 10 hours of operation. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow freely and carry away more impurities.

1.Unplug spark plug boot to prevent accidental starting.

2.Remove the oil fill plug.

3.Pour the oil out of the oil fill hole and into a container by tipping the unit to a vertical position (Fig. 24). Allow ample time for complete drainage.

4.Wipe up any oil residue on the unit and clean up any oil that may have spilled. Dispose of the oil according to Federal,

State and local regulations.

5. Refill the crankcase with
3.04 fluid ounce (90 ml)
or 3/8 cup of SAE 30 SF,		Fig. 24

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

The idle speed of the engine is adjustable. An idle adjustment screw is between the air

filter cover and the engine starter housing (Fig. 32).

NOTE: Careless adjustments can seriously damage your unit. A qualified service dealer should make carburetor adjustments.

Check Fuel

Old fuel is usually the

reason for improper unit performance. Drain and refill the tank with fresh fuel prior to making any adjustments. Refer to Oil and Fuel Information.

Clean Air Filter

The condition of the air filter is important to the operation of the unit. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow. This is often mistaken for an out of adjustment carburetor. Check the condition of the air filter before adjusting the idle speed screw.

Refer to Air Filter Maintenance.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

Adjust Idle Speed Screw

WARNING: This unit will need to be running during idle speed adjustment. Wear protective clothing and observe all safety instructions to prevent serious personal injury.

Also, DO NOT set unit on any surface except a clean, hard area while starting or performing any adjustments. Debris, such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could be thrown by the blower tube and damage property or cause serious injury to bystanders or operator.

If, after checking the fuel and cleaning the air filter, the engine still will not idle, adjust the idle speed screw as follows:

1.Start the engine and let it run at a high idle for a minute to warm up. Refer to Starting/Stopping Instructions.

2.Move the throttle control to the idle position ( ) and let the engine idle. If the engine stops, insert a small phillips screwdriver in between the Air Filter Cover and the Engine Cover (Fig. 32). Turn the idle speed screw in, clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed) until the engine idles smoothly.

Checking the fuel, cleaning the air filter, and adjusting the idle speed should solve most engine problems. If not and all of the following are true:

•the engine will not idle

•the engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration

•there is a loss of engine power

Have the carburetor adjusted by a qualified service dealer.
