Changing the Engine Oil
Replacing the Blade
Change the engine oil after the first 2 operating
hours; change it yearly thereafter.
Important: You will need a torque wrench to
install the blade properly. If you do not have a
torque wrench or are uncomfortable performing this
procedure, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil
to warm it. Warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants.
Examine the blade whenever you run out of gasoline.
If the blade is damaged or cracked, replace it
immediately. If the blade edge is dull or nicked, have
it sharpened or replace it.
Refer to Preparing for Maintenance on page 9.
