stops when the clutch pedal is depressed with the 
transaxle in (N) neutral.

Oil change 

 
Oil should be changed for the first time after 2 hours, then 
at least 1 time per year. 
 

You will need an oil extractor kit. Art. no. 40-11336 

Oil and oil extractor kit is not included 

 
Use an extractor kit and do as follows: 
1.  Turn on the engine and let it run for 5 min or until the 

engine is hot. A hot engine liquefies the oil which 
makes it easier to drain. 

2.  Suck the oil up through the oil filler hole using the 

syringe that came with the oil extractor kit. Use the 
hose to reach the sump. 

3.  Transfer the used oil into a empty container.  
4.  Fill the engine with SAE-30 oil (1.2 L).  
5.  Check the oil level using the dipstick. (Min / Max)  

Remember to dispose the used oil so that it does no 

harm to nature. Use your local recycling station. 

Air filter 

The air filter should be inspected and cleaned regularly. If 
the filter has not been cleaned for a long time, the engine’s 
power will drop. 

1.  Clean around the air filter before removing the cap. 
2.  Unscrew the two nuts on of of cover and gently pull 

the cover off. 

3.  Carefully remove the filter and inspect it. Brush the 

inside paper filter it with a soft brush. If it is very dirty, 
replace it.  
Be careful that no dirt gets into the inlet. 

4.  Wash the black foam element in warm water and 

soap. 

5.  Press the water out of the foam element and let it dry. 

Put a few drops of SAE-30 oil on the filter to moisten it 
lightly. Carefully squeeze any surplus oil out of the 
foam element and reattach. 

6.  Please note that all parts are assembled correctly and 

properly closed after installation.

4.  Check the insulation is intact. 
5.  Clean the spark plug with a wire brush. 
6.  Measure the electrode, taking care not to damage the 

electrode. 

7.  The distance should be: 0.7 to 0.8 mm 
8.  If the spark plug is undamaged refit or replace.  
9.  Reattach the spark plug.
