CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
2. Set the unit on a flat, level surface. Tip the unit back so that
the handles touch the ground and the engine is in a horizontal
position (Fig. 5).
NOTE: Failure to keep the engine level may cause the oil to overfill.
3. Clean the area around the oil fill plug (Fig. 6) to prevent debris
from entering the oil fill hole.
4. Unscrew the oil fill plug.
5. Look into the oil fill hole; use a flashlight if necessary. The oil
level should just touch the bottom thread of the oil fill hole
(Fig. 13). If the oil level is too low, add oil to the oil fill hole until
the oil level touches the bottom thread of the oil fill hole.
NOTE: DO NOT overfill the crankcase.
6. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
7. Reinstall the oil fill plug.
NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug (Fig. 6).
WARNING:
OVERFILLING THE CRANKCASE MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Check the oil level
before each use. The importance of maintaining the proper
oil level cannot be overemphasized.
Installing the New Tines
1. Clean and oil the tine shaft.
2. Slide the new tines onto the tine shaft. The hubs must face
toward each other (Fig. 12). Install the single tine first. Then
install the double tine. Align the hole on the double tine with the
hole on the tine shaft (Fig. 12).
3. Insert a clevis pin through the aligned holes (Fig. 11). Insert a
cotter pin into the clevis pin.
4. Repeat this process for the other side.
5. Reconnect the spark plug wire.
