Before Starting The Engine

CAUTION

This engine was shipped from the factory without oil. If you start the engine without oil, the engine will be damaged beyond repair and will not be covered under warranty.

Eye Protection

Always wear safety glasses. If you wear eye glasses, put a Wide Vision Safety Mask over your eye glasses.

•Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while you assemble, operate or do maintenance to the unit.

Operation

Oil Capacity

The engine holds approximately 20 ounces (0.6 liter) of oil.

Oil Recommendation

Choose a viscosity from the following chart.

SAE 30 40ºF and higher (5ºC and higher)

is good for all purpose use above 40ºF, use below 40ºF will cause hard starting.

10W-300 to 100ºF (−18 to 38ºC)

is better for varying temperature conditions. This grade of oil improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil consumption at 80ºF (27ºC) or higher. Check oil level frequently at higher temperatures.

Synthetic 5W-30−20 to 120ºF (−30 to 40ºC) provides the best protection at all temperatures as well as improved starting with less oil consumption.

5W-3040ºF and below (5ºC and below)

is recommended for winter use, and works best in cold conditions.

Add Oil

1Make sure the engine is level.

2Clean the oil fill cap (A) of debris.

3Remove the oil fill cap and wipe with a clean cloth.

4Slowly fill the engine crankcase. DO NOT OVERFILL. The engine holds approximately 20 ounces (0.6 liter) of oil.

5Install and firmly tighten the oil fill cap.
