SAE 30

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (SE30, 10W30, etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi- viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F. Check your oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.

Your four-cycle engine will normally consume some oil--therefore, check engine oil level regularly approx- imately every five hours of operation and before each usage. Stop engine and wait several minutes before checking oil level. With engine level, the oil must be to FULL mark on dipstick (refer to figure 10). Change engine oil after the first five hours of operation, and every twenty-five hours thereafter.

•Wash the bag periodically with water. Allow to dry thoroughly in the shade. Do not use heat.

ENGINE

ENGINE OIL

Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SF, SG or SH. Select the oil's viscosity grade according to your expected operating temperature.

To Drain Oil:

®Drain oil while engine is warm.

a.Remove oil drain cap. Refer to figure 10. Catch oil in a suitable container.

b.When engine is drained of all oil, replace drain

cap securely.

•Refill with fresh oil. Refer to GAS AND OIL FILL- UP section.

•Replace dipstick.
