ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
The unit has been filled with 15W-40 engine oil at the
factory. Use a high-quality detergent oil classified “For
Service CC, SD, SE, SF.” Detergent oils keep the engine
cleaner and reduce carbon deposits. Use oil having the
following SAE viscosity rating, based on the ambient
temperature range anticipated before the next oil
change:
CAUTION: Any attempt to crank or start the
engine before it has been properly serviced with
the recommended oil may result in an engine
failure.
