OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION

RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE

Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important. Check the

RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE oil before each use and change the oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or

using dirty oil, can cause premature engine wear and failure.

Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.

ADDING OIL TO CRANKCASE – INITIAL USE

Your unit is supplied with one 3.4 fluid oz. (100 ml.) bottle of SAE 30 SF, SG, SH oil (Fig. 4).

NOTE: Save the bottle to measure the correct amount for future oil changes. See Changing the Oil Pg. 19.
