ENGINE OIL
Use oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature
range during the period between oil changes.
Use a high quality detergent oil with API classifications of
SJ or higher.
Check oil level before each operation and ensure that it is
maintained.
CAUTION: THIS ENGINE CRANKCASE IS NOT
FILLED WITH OIL AT THE FACTORY, SO BE
SURE TO FILL IT BEFORE OPERATING THE
ENGINE.
ENGINE OIL CAPACITY
NOTE: These engines are equipped with a “Low Oil” shut-off
system for engine protection. If the engine fails to start, check
engine crankcase for oil.
To fill with oil:
1. Level the engine to ensure accurate inspection and to
prevent overfilling.
2. Unscrew the oil gauge (Fig. 1), wipe the dipstick dry.
Reinsert the oil gauge back into the oil fill gauge opening.
Remove the oil gauge and check the oil level.
3. The oil level should be between the full and low marks
on the dipstick. (Fig. 2)
NOTE: When checking the oil be sure the engine is level.
4. Fill with oil as required through the oil fill gauge opening.
5. Replace the oil gauge and screw in firmly.
6. Wipe up any spilled oil.
FUELING

CAN EXPLODE IF IGNITED.
STORE GASOLINE ONLY IN APPROVED
CONTAINERS, IN WELL VENTILATED,
