CAUTION

Engine shipped without oil. Before starting engine, fill with oil. Do not over-fill. Do not run the engine with a high or low oil level as this can cause engine damage. If you have further questions regarding the engine, please refer to the engine manual included with the unit.

STEP 1:

Check oil level. Oil level should always be between the “FULL” and “ADD” marks on the dipstick.

Be sure the machine is level when checking the oil level. (Refer to the engine’s operating manual for seasonal grades.).

We recommend that the oil be changed after the first 5 hours of use, then once every 50 hours.
