Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps on the fuel and engine oil fills
and only removing one cap each time when you are ready to pour gasoline or oil into the
correct fill.
Use only SAE 10W-30W high detergent oil. Other types of oil could cause problems
operating your machine. Please refer to your engine owner manual for detailed oil
information.
1. To check the engine oil

level, remove the oil
filler cap/dipstick and
wipe it clean.

2. Insert the oil filler

cap/dipstick into the
oil filler neck (Figure
15
), but do not screw it
in. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. If the oil level is near or below the
lower limit mark on the dipstick, add SAE 10W-30W high detergent oil (recommended
by the engine manufacturer) to the upper limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill hole).
Be careful not to overfill (Figure 15).

3. Remove

the

fuel tank cap and add

fresh, unleaded gas to the bottom
of the fuel level limit in the neck
of the fuel tank. Do not overfill
(Figure 16). See your engine owner
manual for more information.

Important! To get an accurate reading when checking the engine oil; the
machine should be on a level surface.
