2.To provide battery power to the Starter Motor (4 - page 26), connect the BLACK (negative -) wire from the negative (-) post on the battery to the Bolt designated on the base of the engine. Then connect the RED (positive +) wire from the Starter Motor to the positive (+) post on the battery. (See Figure B.)

1.Make sure the Engine’s Crankcase is filled with approximately 37 ounces of 10-30W automotive oil. Also, make sure the Engine’s Fuel Tank is filled with approximately 1-1/2 gallon of unleaded gasoline before attempting to start the Engine. Failure to do so WILL damage the Engine and void the Warranty.

2.Before adding oil check to make sure the Drain Plug (2 - page 13) is tight. Unscrew and remove the Dipstick (15 - page 14). Pour the required amount of oil into the Crankcase Cover (4 - page 14). Then screw the Dipstick back into the Crankcase Cover. (See Figure C, next page.)

3.Unscrew and remove the Fuel Filler Cap (11 - page 19) from the Fuel Tank (9 - page 19). Pour the required amount of unleaded gasoline (mid to high oc- tane) into the Fuel Tank. Then screw the Fuel Filler Cap back onto the Fuel Tank.

(See Figure C.)
