Avoid Fumes

cCAUTION: Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or death:

-If it is necessary to run an engine in an enclosed area, use an exhaust pipe extension to remove the fumes.

-Always work in a well ventilated area.

Engine Oil

NOTE: Air cooled engines run hotter than automobile engines. The use of multi-viscosity oil such as (10W-30) in ambient temperatures above 4 ° C (40° F) will result in higher than normal oil consumption. If multi-viscosity oil is used, check oil level more frequently to prevent any possible damage due to lack of lubrication.

Use oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature range during the period between oil changes.

Use a high quality detergent oil classified as:

•API Service Classification SG

•API Service Classification SH
