SECTION 3: ENGINE

Most models have a drain hose installed on the engine, 
for easier oil changes. All gas engines used by Bad Boy 
use 10w30 and have an oil capacity of 2 quarts. Bad Boy 
recommends that the oil and filter be changed every 50 
hours of usage.

The fuel filter is located in the fuel line about 12˝ from the 
carburetor on the side of the engine. Note the direction of 
flow on the side of the filter. Replace once a year.

Remove and inspect air cleaner weekly. (More often in 
dusty conditions). Do not blow filter out with air pressure, 
this will cause the filter to be filled with tiny holes that will 
allow dirt to enter. Instead, tap filter on side to remove 
any debris. Replace at least once a year, more often in 
dusty conditions

Torque the clutch bolt to 50 ft. lbs. on all models. 
Re-torque at every oil change.
(All Models)
