Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.

Please read the maintenance schedule and observe these recommendations to extend the life of your engine.

To help you properly care for your engine, the following pages include a maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other service tasks that are more dicult, or require special tools, are best handled by professionals and are normally performed by a technician or other qualied mechanic.

Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emissions control devices and systems may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individuals. However, items must be serviced by an authorized dealer to obtain “no charge” emissions control warranty service.

The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you operate your engine under unusual conditions, such as sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.

LUBRICATION

Choose 10W-30 engine oil that meets or surpasses the latest API service classication.

OIL MAINTENANCE

After the rst ve hours of operating a new Viper® engine the oil should be replaced, and every 50 hours of operating time thereafter. The oil should be changed every 25 hours if used under severe conditions, such as in high temperatures or under heavy loads. Check oil periodically; DO NOT OVERFILL!

CHANGING OIL

Be sure the engine is not operating and is located on a level surface before checking or relling oil. Engine should be warm for easy removal of oil. There are many small oil passages in the engine so wait ve minutes for the oil to accumulate in the sump for accurate oil level checking.

STEPS FOR CHANGING OIL

1. Flip the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position/

2. Unscrew oil drain screw and empty oil into suitable oil container. Dispose of oil properly.

3. Reinsert drain screw and remove oil dipstick.

4. Fill with appropriate oil to FULL or top line of dipstick. (SEE FIGURE 6 ON PAGE 11)

5. Reinsert dipstick or oil ll cap and tighten.

IMPORTANT

PROPER POSITION FOR CHECKING OIL LEVEL OR REFILLING OIL IS THE STANDARD OPERATION POSITION. ENSURE THE UNIT IS ON A STURDY, LEVEL SURFACE. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THIS POSITION CAN RESULT IN OVER FILLING THE ENGINE WITH OIL WHICH WILL IMPAIR THE ENGINE’S PERFORMANCE.

with warm water and mild soap. Remember to thoroughly oil the foam lter with 30 or 40 weight motor oil and squeeze out any excess oil before reinstalling it. Make sure to press the foam lter evenly into place over the ber lter to ensure that the foam is fully seated into its sealed position.

4. Replace the air lter cover by rst connecting the back latch tabs then swinging the cover, making sure the foam lter block stays fully seated and in its proper position, and connect the front latch tab so that it is secured into place. Make sure to not pinch the ON/OFF switch wires while replacing the air lter cover.

5. Screw the cover bolt back into place. Check that the cover is securely attached by puling slightly on the cover. If the cover doesn’t move when pulled, it is secure.

CAUTION

TO AVOID INJURY OR DEATH, NEVER SIPHON FUEL BY MOUTH.

IMPORTANT

NEVER TWIST AIR FILTERS WHEN CLEANING. ALWAYS PRESS.

CARBURETOR

Never tamper with factory setting of the carburetor.

COOLING FINS

Cooling ns, air inlets and linkages must be free from any debris before each use.

AIR FILTER

Never run engine without air cleaner properly installed. Added wear and engine failure may occur if air cleaner is not installed on engine.

Service air cleaner every 3 months or after 20 hours of operation. Clean lter daily in extremely dusty conditions.

Steps for Replacing and Cleaning Air Filter

1. Before removing the air lter cover, move the chooke lever to the CHOKE position.

2. To remove air lter cover, unscrew the cover bolt with a screw driver and gently pop out the front latch tab. The cover then can be slid o the back latch tabs and away from the engine. Be careful not to sever or damage the

ON/OFF switch wires while removing the air lter cover. SEE FIGURE 9

3. Remove the foam lter and ber lter elements. Replace with a new ber lter and a new oiled foam lter (SEE

FIGURE 10), or clean the original foam and ber lters

Transporting Your Pump

1. After using the pump and before transporting it in a truck bed, screw the fuel cap on (clockwise) tightly. The fuel cap will not leak during transporting if fuel cap is tight. Never transport engine inside an enclosed space within a vehicle. Fuel or fuel vapors may ignite causing serious injury or death.

2. If fuel is present in the fuel tank, transport in an open vehicle in an upright position.

3. If an enclosed vehicle must be used, remove fuel into an approved red fuel container. DO NOT siphon by mouth.

4. Run engine to use up the fuel in the carburetor and fuel tank. Always run engine in a well ventilated area. Engine

can run for several minutes due to its ecient design.

5. Wipe away any spilled fuel from engine and pump. Allow to dry.

6. Fuel cap should be tightly secured before transporting pump in a vehicle.

Flushing the Pump Housing

1. After use, remove the pump drain plug and allow the water to drain from the pump housing.

2. Remove the pump primer cap and ush the pump housing with clean water.

3. After all water has drained from the pump housing, replace the primer cap and drain plug.

Ardisam will warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, modication or improper maintenance of your engine.

The emission control system includes all components whose failure would increase the emissions of any regulated pollutant. These components are listed in the emission-related parts list located in a subsequent section of this emissions warranty statement. Ardisam will repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

The emission control system is warranted for two years. If, during such warranty period, any emission-related part on your engine is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility.

PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the SORE purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the completion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied Manual(s). For warranty purposes, Ardisam recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your SORE. However, Ardisam cannot deny warranty solely because of the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled maintenance.

As the SORE purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that Ardisam may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility if your SORE or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or modications, or the use of counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved by Ardisam.

You are responsible for presenting your SORE to an Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To locate the Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our free number:

800-345-6007

and obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty

(ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Ardisam pursuant to federal law. See also the Ardisam “Product Warranty” (non-emission warranties), which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet or located in additional materials accompanying this product. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Ardisam Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where the Ardisam Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Ardisam Warranty describe important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.

Warranty service can be performed only by an Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner. Ardisam will not be responsible for any and/or all damages or losses incurred while the engine is being transported/ shipped for inspection or warranty repairs.

II. EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for equipment using small o-road engines:

(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to equipment that uses small o-road engines. The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.

(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Ardisam warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines is...

(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the EPA pursuant to their respective authority, and

(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a warranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certication.

The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:

for replacement as required maintenance in the Maintenance Schedule (located in the section of the Manual(s) pertaining to maintenance) shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by Ardisam according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specied in the Maintenance Schedule (located in the section of the Manual(s) pertaining to maintenance) shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the eect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Maintenance Schedule (located in the section of the Manual(s) pertaining to maintenance) shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the rst scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the rst scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Ardisam according to Subsection (4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the rst scheduled replacement point for such emissionsrelated part.

(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility.

(5) When the engine is inspected by a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsible for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.

(6) Ardisam shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modications proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.

(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Ardisam shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sucient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.

(8) Any Ardisam authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS Warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the purchaser/owner. Such use shall not reduce Ardisam’s ECS Warranty obligations.

(9) Unapproved, add-on, modied, counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts may not be used to modify or repair a Ardisam engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sucient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. Ardisam shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Ardisam engine

caused by the use of such an unapproved, add-on, modied, counterfeit and/or “grey market” part.
