NOTE
Engine shipped from our factory is without oil.
Before starting engine, fill with oil. Do not over-fill.

1. CHECK ENGINE OIL (See Fig. 2)

Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the engine is
located on stable, level surface and stopped.

■ Do not screw the oil gauge into the oil filler neck to check oil

level. If the oil level is low, refill to the upper level with the
following recommended oil.

■ Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil of API service class

SE or higher grade.

■ Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the

time of operation as shown in the table. (See Fig.2-①)

CAUTION

Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive

engines.

The use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils

(5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) in temperatures above

40°F(4°C) will result in higher then normal oil

consumption. When using a multi-viscosity oil,

check oil level more frequently.

Do not refuel while smoking, near an open flame

or other such potential fire hazards. Otherwise

fire accident may occur.

■ Stop the engine and open the cap.

■ Close the fuel valve before filling the fuel tank.

■ Do not fill above the top of the fuel filter screen

(marked ❶), or the fuel may overflow when it heats up later
and expands.

For electric starter operation, proper electric wiring
arrangements are needed before normal engine operation.

■ When filling the fuel tank, always use the fuel filter screen.

■ After refueling, tighten the fuel cap (rotate clockwise) until

it makes a physical stop, there will be a relief in resistance
just before the physical stop.

This will form a vapor seal between the tank and fuel cap.

■ Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
