10.2 ENGINE
The maintenance instructions for the engine can be found in the separate engine manual.
Store the engine oil according to the instructions in the separate engine manual that comes with
your device.
Read and follow the instructions carefully.
Maintain the air filter according to the separate engine manual under normal conditions. Under
extremely dusty conditions, the air filter must be cleaned every few hours. Poor engine performance
and clogging usually indicate that the air filter should be serviced.
Refer to the separate engine manual that came with your device for information on how to service
the air filter.
The spark plug should be cleaned once per season, and the air filter slide-in should be reset. Spark
plug replacement is recommended at the beginning of each season; check the engine manual for
the correct plug type.
Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling system (area of the housing fan)
clean to allow proper air circulation, which is essential for engine performance and life. Be sure to
remove all grass, dirt, and combustible deposits from the muffler area.
