CHECK THE OIL (BEFORE STARTING ENGINE)

NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled with oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.

1.Make sure the unit is level. Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher”.

2.Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick (A, Figure 7) and wipe with a clean cloth.

3.Insert the oil fill cap/dipstick and turn clockwise to tighten.

4.Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and check the oil.

NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil while the engine runs.

5.If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick. Do not add too much oil.

6.Tighten the oil fill cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.

NOTE: For extreme cold operating conditions of 0°F (-18°C) and below, use a synthetic 5W30 motor oil for easier starting.

NOTE: S.A.E. 5W30 motor oil may be used to make starting easier in areas where the temperature is 20°F (-7°C) to 0°F (-18°C). Synthetic 5W30 is acceptable for all temperatures. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. See Chart for oil recommendations.
