Checks Before Operation

Is your engine ready to go?

For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important to take a few moments

before you operate the engine to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or have your

servicing dealer correct it before you operate the engine.

WARNING! Improperly maintaining this engine, or failing to correct a problem before operation, could

cause a malfunction in which you could be seriously injured. Always perform a pre-operation inspection

before each operation and correct any problem.

Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the engine is level, and the engine switch is in the OFF

position.

Check the General Condition of the Engine

•

Look around and underneath the engine for signs of oil or gasoline leaks.

•

Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler and recoil starter.

•

Look for signs of damage.

•

Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened.

Check the Engine

•

Check the engine oil level. Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.

•

The Oil Alert system (applicable engine types) will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls

below safe limits. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the

engine oil level before startup.

•

Check the air filter. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburettor, reducing engine performance.

•

Check the fuel level. Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for

refuelling.

Check the Equipment Powered by This Engine

•

Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by this engine for any precautions and

procedures that should be followed before engine startup.

Maintenance

ATTENTION: Surface corrosion will occur on metal surfaces over time and the rate of oxidation

depends on factors such as proximity to the ocean and humidity or condensation of water

vapour on metal surfaces. To mitigate this, WD40 can be used to remove surface corrosion then, when

applied periodically, it will prevent rust from forming.

Engine Maintenance

The Importance of Maintenance

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce air

pollution.

WARNING! Improperly maintaining this engine, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can

cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the inspection and

maintenance recommendations and schedules in this manual.

To help you properly care for your engine, the following pages include a maintenance schedule, routine

inspection procedures, and simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other service tasks that are

more difficult, or require special tools, are best handled by professionals, and are normally performed by a

technician or other qualified mechanic.

The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you operate your engine under unusual

conditions, such as sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty

conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.

Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, but it also causes environmental damage. Wipe up spills immediately.

Fuel can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage

caused by spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.

Fuel Recommendations

•

Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.

•

These engines are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and

spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life.

•

Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel

tank.

•

Occasionally you may hear a light ‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinging’’ (metallic rapping noise) while operating under

heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.

•

If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If

spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized servicing dealer.

•

Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage.

•

Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is considered misuse, and the Distributor’s

Limited Warranty does not cover parts damaged by misuse.

Engine Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level position.

1. Remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.

2. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler neck. Check the oil level shown on the

dipstick.

3. If the oil level is low, fill to the edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil.

4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.

NOTE: Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.

The Oil Alert system (applicable engine types) will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below

safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the engine oil level

before startup.

Engine Oil Change

Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.

1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil, and then remove the filler cap/dipstick and

the drain plug.

2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, and then reinstall the drain plug, and tighten it securely.

Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take

used oil in a sealed container to your local recycling centre or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it

in the trash; pour it on the ground; or down a drain.

3. With the engine in a level position, fill to the outer edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil.

Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. The Oil Alert system (applicable

engine types) will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.

However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, fill to the upper limit, and check

the oil level regularly.

4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.

Reduction Gear Oil (Only on equipped models)

<1/2 reduction with automatic centrifugal clutch>

1. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean.

2. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck but do not screw it in.

3. If the level is low, fill to the upper-level mark with the same oil recommended for the engine.

Servicing Your Engine - Engine Oil Recommendations

Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the

average temperature in your area is within the recommended range.

The SAE oil viscosity and service classification are in the API label on the oil container. We recommend that you

use API SERVICE Category SE or SF oil.

Air Filter Inspection

Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter. Clean or replace dirty filter elements. Always replace

damaged filter elements. If equipped with an oil-bath air cleaner, also check the oil level.

Air Cleaner Service

•

A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburettor, reducing engine performance.

•

If you operate the engine in very dusty areas, clean the air filter more often than specified in the

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.

Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine,

causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s Limited Warranty.

Dual-Filter-Element Types:

1. Remove the wing nut from the air cleaner cover and remove the air

cleaner cover.

2. Remove the wing nut from the air filter and remove the filter.

3. Remove the foam filter from the paper filter.

4. Inspect both air filter elements and replace them if they are damaged.

Always replace the paper air filter element at the scheduled interval.

5. Clean the air filter elements if they are to be reused.

Paper air filter element: Tap the filter element several times on a hard

surface to remove dirt or blow compressed air [not exceeding 30 psi

(207 kPa)] through the filter element from the inside. Never try to brush

off dirt; brushing will force dirt into the fibres.

Foam air filter element: Cl

ean in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow

drying thoroughly. Or clean in non-flammable solvent and allow drying.

Dip the filter element in clean engine oil, and then squeeze out all

excess oil. The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in

the foam.

6. W

ipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner base and cover, using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from

entering the air duct that leads to the carburettor.

7. Place the foam air filter element over the paper element and reinstall the assembled air filter. Be sure the

gasket is in place beneath the air filter. Tighten the air filter wing nut securely.

8. Install the air cleaner cover and tighten the cover wing nut securely.

Oil-Bath Type:

1. Remove the wing nut and remove the air cleaner cap and cover.

2. Remove the air filter from the cover, Wash the cover and filter in warm, soapy water, rinse, and allow drying

thoroughly. Or clean in non-flammable solvent and allow drying.

3. Dip the filter in clean engine oil, and then squeeze out all excess oil. The engine will smoke if too much oil is

left in the foam.

4. Empty the used oil from the air cleaner case, wash out any accumulated dirt with non-flammable solvent,

and dry the case.

5. Fill the air cleaner case to the OIL LEVEL mark with the same oil that is recommended for the engine. Oil

capacity: 2.0 US oz (60 cm

3

).

6. Reassemble the air cleaner and tighten the wing nut securely.

BVB-300 Concrete Vibrator Drive Unit

3. Inspect the spark plug. Replace it if the electrodes are worn, or if the insulator is cracked or chipped.

4. Measure the spark plug electrode gap with a suitable gauge.

The gap should be 0.028 in -0.031 in (0.70 mm - 0.80 mm). Correct the gap, if necessary, by carefully

bending the side electrode.

5. Install the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.

6. After the spark plug seats, tighten with a spark plug wrench to compress the water.

If reinstalling the used spark plug, tighten 1/8 - 1/4 turn after the spark plug seats.

If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats.

A loose spark plug can overheat and damage the engine. Over tightening the spark plug can damage

the threads in the cylinder head.

7. Attach the spark plug cap.

Idle Speed Adjustment

1. Start the engine outdoors and allow it to warm up to operating temperature.

2. Move the throttle lever to its slowest position.

3. Turn the throttle stop screw to obtain the standard idle speed.

Standard idle speed: 1800±150 rpm
