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.
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).
NOTE: Save the empty oil bottle.
It can be used to measure the correct amount during future oil changes. See Changing the Oil.
1. Unscrew the top of the bottle of oil and remove the paper seal covering the opening. Replace the top. Next, cut the tip off the funnel spout (Fig. 9).
2. Tip unit so that the back of the engine is facing up in a vertical position.
3. Remove the oil fill plug from the crankcase (Fig. 10).
4. Pour the entire bottle of oil into the oil fill hole (Fig. 11).
NOTE: Never add oil to the fuel
or fuel tank.
5. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled and reinstall the oil fill plug.
Check oil before each use and change as needed. Refer to Checking the Oil Level.
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.
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
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.
FUELING THE UNIT
1. Remove the fuel cap (Fig. 12).
2. Place the gas container’s spout into the fill hole on the fuel tank (Fig. 12) and fill the tank.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Perform these required maintenance procedures at the frequency stated in the table. These procedures should also be a part of any seasonal tune-up.
NOTE: Some maintenance procedures may require special tools
or skills. If you are unsure about these procedures take your unit to a qualified service dealer.
NOTE: Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission
control devices and system may be performed by a qualified service dealer.
In order to assure peak performance of your engine, inspection of the engine exhaust port may be necessary after 50 hours of operation. If you notice lost RPM, poor performance or general lack of acceleration, this service may be required. If you feel your engine is in need of this inspection, refer service to a qualified service dealer for repair. DO NOT attempt to perform this process yourself as engine damage may result from contaminants involved in the cleaning process for the port.
CHANGING THE OIL
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, SG, SH oil.
WARNING: Wear gloves to prevent injury when
handling unit.

7. Reinstall the air filter cover. Position the slots on the top of the air filter cover onto the tabs at the top of the back plate (Fig. 30).
8. Swing the cover down until the tab on the air filter backplate snaps into place in the slot on the air filter cover (Fig. 31).
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
NOTE: Use the bottle and spout saved from initial use to
measure the correct amount of oil. The top of the label on the bottle measures approximately 3.04 ounces (90 ml) or 3/8 cup (Fig. 25). Check the level, See Checking the Oil Level. If the level is low, add a small amount of oil and recheck. Do not overfill (Fig. 25).
6. Replace the oil fill plug.
7. Reconnect the spark plug boot.
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Air Filter
Clean and re-oil the air filter every 10 hours of operation. It is an important item to maintain. Failure to maintain your air filter properly can result in poor performance or can cause permanent damage to your engine.
1. Open the air filter cover. Push the tab on the under side of the cover inward. Then pull the air filter cover out and up from the bottom of the cover (Fig. 26).
2. Remove the air filter (Fig. 26).
3. Wash the filter in detergent and water (Fig. 27). Rinse the filter thoroughly and allow it to dry.
4. Apply enough clean SAE 30 motor oil to lightly coat the filter (Fig. 28).
5. Squeeze the filter to spread and remove excess oil (Fig. 29).
6. Replace the filter (Fig. 26).
NOTE: If the unit is operated
without the air filter, you will VOID the warranty.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Adjust Idle Speed Screw
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.
ROCKER ARM CLEARANCE
1. Remove the 2 handle screws with flat blade or T20 torx head
screwdriver, while holding the nuts with 3/8” nut driver (Fig. 33).
2. Remove top bolt located near starter rope handle with
tools mentioned in step 1 (Fig. 33).
3. Loosen screw located near top of door hinge with same
tools mentioned in step 1.
4. Open vacuum door, prop open with hand.
5. Remove handle.
6. Remove the six (6) screws on the back of the engine cover
with a Flat-head or T-25 Torx screwdriver (Fig. 34).
