Changing the Air Filter Elements ATTENTION
13. Add oil to the engine. Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for proper oil specifications and capacity. ATTENTION For optimal engine life and performance, use Ventrac full synthetic engine oil (Part Number 15.0037-1). 14. Install the oil fill cap and wipe up any oil spills. 15. Start the power unit and let it run at low idle engine speed for approximately two to three minutes. 16. Shut off the engine and remove the ignition key. 17. Check for leaks around the oil filter. If any leaks are evident, the filter may need tightened further, or the filter may need to be removed, the gasket and filter mount cleaned, and the filter reinstalled. 18. Check the engine oil level after allowing the en- gine to cool for approximately two minutes and add oil if necessary. 19. Reinstall the right engine cover.
When both air filter elements are removed, an open - ing is created to the internal parts of the engine. Be sure nothing falls into the canister that could make its way into the engine. Have the new filter elements ready to install immediately after remov- ing the old filter elements. Improper service to the engine air filter can result in severe engine damage. • Inspect the filter daily in extreme heat, dust, or other severe conditions. • Never run the engine without a proper air filter installed. • Never wash or clean the paper filter element. 1.
