Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely. It may be necessary to lower the fuel level depending
on operating conditions. After refueling, screw the fuel filler cap
back on until it clicks.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck as shown,
but do not push it in, then remove it to check the oil level.
If the oil level is below the upper limit mark on the dipstick, fill
with the recommended oil (see page
) to the upper limit mark.
Do not overfill.
Reinstall and tighten the oil filler cap/dipstick.
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
The Oil Alert system will stop the engine or issue a warning before
the oil level falls below a safe limit. Refer to the instructions
provided by the equipment manufacturer.
Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues,
electric appliances, power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental
damage. Wipe up spills immediately.
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that
meets or exceeds the
requirements for API service
classification SJ or later (or
equivalent). Always check the
API service label on the oil
container to be sure it includes
the letters SJ or later (or
equivalent).
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 indicated range.
