ADDING/checking engine lubricant

See Figure 8.

Enginelubricant has a major influence on engine perfor- mance and service life. This unit is shipped with a 20W50 engine lubricant to assist in the break-in period. For best operating performance, continuing to use 20W50 engine lubricant is recommended, however, SAE 30, 10W30, or 10W40 are all acceptable lubricants to use in this product. Always use a 4-stroke motor lubricant that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SJ. Check lubricant level before each use.

NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine lubricants will damage the engine and should not be used.

To add engine lubricant:

Remove the cap and seal from lubricant bottle

Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.

Using the funnel provided, add one entire bottle of engine lubricant through oil fill hole.

Reinstall the oil cap/dipstick and secure.

To check engine lubricant level:

Place unit on a flat surface.

Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not rethread.

Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level. Lubricant level should fall within the hatched area on the dipstick.

If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises to the upper portion of the hatched area on the dipstick.

Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.

WARNING:

Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 30 ft. from refueling site before starting engine. Do not smoke and stay away from open flames and sparks. Failure to safely handle fuel could result in serious per- sonal injury.
