Oil Filter Service Oil Cooler Engines are equipped with an oil cooler mounted under the No. 2 side cylinder shroud, separate from the oil filter (see Figure 16). Drain Plug Figure 12. Change Oil Filter The oil filter on most engines is located on top of the crankcase between the cylinders. Replace the oil filter seasonally (150 hours), or at least every other oil change (every 300 hours of operation). 10 Inspect and clean the oil cooler every 150 hours of operation (more frequently under severe conditions). To access and service the oil cooler, remove the top mounting screw and loosen the two side screws, then lift off the No. If required remove the two screws holding the oil cooler to the blower housing. Clean both sides of the cooler with a brush as shown in Figures 17 and 18, or with compressed air. After cleaning, reattach the oil cooler to the lower blower housing with the two mounting screws. Air Cleaner General These engines use a heavy-duty style air cleaner shown in Figure 19, consisting of a cylindrical housing mounted to the carburetor and intake manifold. The air cleaner housing contains a paper element and inner element, designed for longer service intervals. The system is CARB/EPA certified and the components should not be altered or modified in any way. Oil Cooler Figure 19. Service Weekly and every 150 hours: Check filter minder (if equipped), unhook the two retaining clips on each end and remove the end caps. Seasonally or every 300 hours of operation (more often under extremely dusty or dirty conditions), replace the paper element and check the inner element. Unhook the two retaining clips on each end and remove the end caps from the air cleaner housing. Pull the air cleaner paper element out of the housing on opposite side. 11 Clean Air Intake/Cooling Areas Paper Element To ensure proper cooling, make sure the grass screen, cooling fins, and other external surfaces of the engine are kept clean at all times. NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or cooling shrouds removed, will cause engine damage due to overheating. Ignition System Inner Element Figure 21. After the paper element is removed, check the condition of the inner element.
