MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Proper routine maintenance of your engine is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free
operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.
Maintenance Schedule
Remember that this schedule is based on the assumption that your machine will be used for its
designed purpose. Sustained high-load, high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or
dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.

WARNING: Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can
cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously injured or killed. Always follow the
inspection, maintenance recommendations, and schedules in this instruction manual.
●Make sure the engine is o before you begin any maintenance or repairs.
●Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
●To reduce the possibility of re or explosion, be careful when working around
gasoline. Use only a nonammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep
cigarettes, sparks, and ames away from all fuel-related parts.
5
Break-In Period
As the best practice for any new combustion motor it’s recommended to perform the break
in procedure as follows:
●Run the engine for the rst 6-8 hours on conventional oil, then change the oil. After
the break-in period synthetic oil may be used.
●During the break in period of the rst 6-8 hours keep the engine speed under 50% for
optimal results.
●Check and clean the air lter if necessary after the break-in period.
High Altitude Operation
At high altitudes, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich. The performance will decrease,
and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
Operation at an altitude that diers from that at which this engine was certied, for extended periods of
time, may increase emissions. High altitude performance can be improved by specic modications to
the carburetor. If you always operate your engine at altitudes above 3,000 feet (900 meters), have a dealer
perform this carburetor modication. This engine, when operated at high altitude with the carburetor
modications for high altitude use, will meet each emission standard throughout its useful life. Even with
carburetor modication, engine horsepower will decrease by about 3.5% for each 1,000-foot (300-meter)
increase in altitude. The eect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor
modication is made.
When the carburetor has been modied for high altitude operation, the air/fuel mixture will be too lean for
low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 3,000 feet (900 meters) with a modied carburetor may cause
the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage.
Note: Jet kits available for purchase upon request, please contact us at 844-DUROMAX to set up your
parts order.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE (CONTINUED)
Checking the Oil
6
Check the oil
The engine is equipped with an automatic shuto to protect
it from damage due to low oil. Nonetheless, you should check
the oil level of the engine before each use to ensure that the
engine crankcase has a sucient amount.
To check the oil level:
a. Make sure the engine is on a level surface.
b. Unscrew the oil ller/dipstick cap.
c. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil o of the stick on the
inside of the cap.
d. Insert the dipstick as if you were replacing the
cap and then remove it again. There should now be
oil on the stick. If there is no oil on the stick, or oil
only at the very end of the stick, you should add
oil until the engine crankcase is lled (see “Adding
Oil” portion of the “Maintenance” section).
e. The oil will be visible in the oil ll spout when full.
f. Be sure to replace the cap when nished checking
oil.
Model Number XP20HP
Engine Oil Capacity 40.5 . oz (1.2 L)

Changing the Oil
Remove drain plug
Using a 12 mm hex wrench, unscrew the oil drain plug, which
is located on the crankcase underneath the oil ller/dipstick
cap.
Allow all the oil to drain from the engine.
1.
Drain oil
Drain oil into an approved oil disposal container. Contact
your local auto parts store for information on oil disposal.
2.
Replace drain plug
Replace the oil drain plug and tighten with a 12 mm hex
wrench.
3.
CAUTION: Worn out or dirty oil does not cool the
engine properly and can lead to catastrophic
engine damage.
In addition to regular oil changes, it is necessary to drain the
oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with
water or dirt.
Routine maintenance of the air cleaner helps maintain proper
airow to the carburetor. Check that the air cleaner is free of
excessive dirt after every use.
CAUTION: Improper maintenance may cause
less air to enter the engine or dirty air to enter
the engine causing overheating and engine
wear.
