20 PRIMARY MA INTENA NCE A n illustration o f how dirt can damage y our engine & how reasonable maintenance can protect it! Snapper uses the best available engines and components in their products in order to provide long, satisfactory service. Ho wever, proper care is essential in prolonging engine life.
21 PRIMARY MA INTENA NCE The engine must gulp about 12,000 gallons of air for every gallon of fuel used. Because of its working environment, the air available to y our Snapper engine is heavily saturated with airborne dirt particles. As the dirt particles are stopped, they build up and begin to clog the outside of the air filter.
22 PRIMARY MA INTENA NCE Generally , wash foam-type filters in a dishw ashing detergent and water solution. Rinse and wring dry , then saturate with oil and squeeze out excess. Failure to re-oil this type filter will ruin the engine. Clean paper elements by tapping lightly .
23 PRIMARY MA INTENA NCE On 4-cy cle engines with an oil level plug, don’t be fooled onto thinking the engine has sufficient lubricating oil if y ou can see “some” oil in the opening – the level should alway s be brought up to the point of overflowing at the top of the fill hole.
