ENGINE OIL

Recommendations

Use premium quality motor oil, Class SJ or SL. Look for the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) or API viscosity grade. Referring to the table below, choose the viscosity grade appropriate for the ambient temperatures expected during the period of time until the next sched- uled oil change.

EXPECTED AMBIENT

SAE VISCOSITY

GRADE

32°F (0° C) and higher

30

0°F to 80°F

10W-30

(-18°C to 27°C)

10W-40

Single-grade SAE 30 oil is preferable when temperatures are 50° and 90°F (10° - 32°C).

If multi-grade oil is used, oil consumption tends to increase if the ambi- ent temperature is high.

Filling and Change Interval

After the first 20 hours of operation the initial oil and oil filter should be replaced.

Thereafter, change the oil every 100 hours of operation and change the oil filter every 200 hours.

Apply a thin coat of oil to the oil filter gasket surface and install by tightening the oil filter about 3/4 turn after the seal has reached the crankcase surface.

The oil capacity of the crankcase is 1.55L (53 fl.oz.).

When filling the crankcase, keep the engine level and fill up to the up- per mark of the oil gauge. Check the oil with the oil gauge pushed all the way in its seat.

Check the oil level daily, before starting. Keep the oil level between the upper and lower level on the gauge.

STARTING BATTERIES

An engine equipped with an electric starter requires a properly sized battery along with appropriately sized interconnecting cables to insure proper starting. Neither cranking performance or starter service life will be satisfactory if an undersized battery is used.

Use a battery rated 12V-30 amp or larger.

The customer must supply battery cables. Use the table below to select the proper cable for the positive side connection.

Connect a ground strap to the negative terminal. Use a flat strap 25.0mm (0.25”) wide.
