[. . . ] See Adding Oil under OIL RECOMMENDATIONS for procedure. Start and run engine at IDLE to check for oil leaks. Recheck oil level and add oil if required. OIL PRESSURE If oil pressure drops below 1-4 psi (. 1-. 2 kg/cm2), an oil pressure switch (if engine is equipped) will either activate a warning device or stop the engine. If oil level is between ADD and FULL mark on dipstick, do not try to restart engine. Contact an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer. Do not operate engine until oil pressure is corrected. If oil level is below ADD mark on dipstick, add oil to bring level to FULL mark. If pressure is normal, continue to operate engine. Note: Oil pressure gauge, if engine is equipped, is supplied by manufacturer of equipment. FUEL FILTER Replace in-line fuel filter Ì every season. Drain fuel tank or close fuel shut-off valve before replacing fuel filter. KEEP ENGINE CLEAN - SEE FIGURE 11 Periodically, after engine cools, remove debris from engine to reduce risk of overheating and ignition. Keep linkage, springs and controls Ê free of debris. CAUTION: Clean with a brush or compressed air. OIL COOLER Clean oil cooler Í every 100 hours or every season, if equipped. COOLING SYSTEM Debris may clog engine's air cooling system, especially after prolonged service. Every 100 hours or every season, clean internal cooling fins Î and surfaces to prevent overheating and engine damage. Remove blower housing to clean areas shown . AIR CLEANER, DUAL ELEMENT - SEE FIGURE 8 1. Unhook clips or unscrew knobs and remove cover. Carefully slide pre-cleaner Ê off cartridge Ë. Carefully remove cartridge to prevent debris from entering carburetor. To service cartridge, clean by tapping gently on a flat surface. Replace pre-cleaner, if equipped, or cartridge if very dirty or damaged. [. . . ] To avoid misunderstanding which might occur between the customer and the Dealer, listed below are some of the causes of engine failure that the warranty does not cover. Normal wear: Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or an engine. Improper maintenance: The life of an engine depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. [. . . ]
