Oil

Capacity

Engine holds approximately 3 ounces (90 ml). Change oil after first 4 hours of use.

Oil Recommendation

Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher, such as Briggs & Stratton SAE 30, Part Number 100091 (3.2oz) or Briggs & Stratton Synthetic Oil, Part Number 100074.

Do not use special additives.

Choose a viscosity according to the table below.

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

CAUTION

Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines. The use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) in temperatures above 40° F (4° C) will result in higher than normal oil consumption. When using a multi-viscosity oil, check oil level more frequently.

CAUTION

*Synthetic oil must be used when operating engine under 40_ F (4_ C) or engine damage will occur.

CAUTION

**Use of SAE 30 oil below 50° F (10° C) will result in hard starting and possible engine damage due to inadequate lubrication.

Adding Oil

CAUTION

KEEP ENGINE LEVEL

Engine must be level, with oil fill facing up, to check oil. If engine is not level, dipstick reading will not be accurate. This will lead to possible over or under filling causing damage to the engine.

Check oil level before starting the engine.

Check level daily, or after every eight (8) hours of use.

Keep oil level at FULL.

DO NOT over fill. Use oil measure cup for filling.

Add only half ounce to 1 ounce of oil at a time.

1ounce

1.Place engine level. Remove dipstick. Use the oil measure cup to pour oil slowly into engine.

Do not over fill.
