OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Do not run the engine with a high or low oil level as this can cause engine dam- age.
If you have further questions regarding the engine, please refer to the engine manual included with the unit.

Check oil level. Oil level should al- ways be between the “FULL” and “ADD” marks on the dipstick.
Be sure the machine is level when checking the oil level. (Refer to the engine’s operating manual for sea- sonal grades.).
We recommend that the oil be changed after the first 5 hours of use, then once every 25 hours.
