shipped with 10W30 engine oil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Engine stops if oil level gets too low.

 

 

 

. This unit has a low oil level shut-

 

Gasoline

 

down switch. However,

some

 

 

conditions may cause

engine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

damage before the engine shuts

 

 

 

 

down. Check oil level often and

 

 

 

 

do not use the oil level shutdown

 

 

 

 

system to monitor oil level.

Fuel Valve

 

 

 

 

Open valve by turning lever to verti-

 

 

 

cal position.

 

 

 

 

. Close fuel valve before moving

 

 

 

 

unit or carburetor may flood and
