.Follow run-in procedure in en- gine manual.

NOTICE − This unit has a low oil pressure shutdown switch. Howev- er, some conditions may cause en- gine damage before the engine shuts down. Check oil level often and do not use the oil pressure shutdown system to monitor oil level.

Fuel

Add fresh fuel before starting en- gine the first time (see maintenance label for specifications). Always leave filler neck empty to allow room for expansion. Check fuel lev- el on a cold engine before use each day.

Oil
