Adding Engine OIL

1.Make sure the unit is level. Use a high quality deter- gent oil classified “For Service SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher”.

2.Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick access panel (A, Figure 9).

2.Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick (B) and wipe with a clean cloth.

3.Insert the oil fill cap/dipstick (B) and turn clockwise to tighten.

4.Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick (B) and check the oil.

NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil while the engine is running.

5.If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL mark on the oil fill/cap dipstick (see Figure 9). Do not add too much oil.

6.Tighten the fill cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.

NOTE: For extreme cold operating conditions of 0°F(-18°

C)and below, use a synthetic 5W30 motor oil for easier starting.

NOTE: S.A.E. 5W30 motor oil may be used to make starting easier in areas where the temperature is 20° F (-7° C) to 0F (-18° C). Synthetic 5W30 is acceptable for all temperatures. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.

NOTE: SEE CHART FOR OIL RECOMMENDATION

Use oil classified API Service Class SF, SG, SH, SJ or better with SAE Viscosity:

		5W-30 Conventional
		5W-30 Synthetic
˚F	-20	0	20	32	40
˚C	-30	-18	-7	0	4

ADDING FUEL

To add fuel:

1.Remove the fuel cap (C, Figure 9).

2.Fill the tank. Do not overfill. Leave room in the tank for fuel expansion. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean, unleaded regular, un-leaded premium, or reformulat- ed automotive gasoline with a minimum of 85 octane along with a fuel stabilizer (follow instructions on fuel stabilizer package). DO NOT use leaded gasoline.

We recommend that fuel stabilizer be added to the fuel each time that gasoline is added to the fuel tank. Refer to your engine manual for further specific fuel recommendations.

3.Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.

NOTE: Winter grade gasoline has higher volatility to improve starting. Be certain container is clean and free from rust or other foreign particles. Never use gasoline that may be stale from long periods of stor- age in the container.

CAUTION: DO NOT use gasoline containing any amount of alcohol as it can cause serious damage to the engine or significantly reduce the performance

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills.

Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL, gasohol containing more than

10% ETHANOL, gasoline additives, or white gas because engine/fuel system damage could result.
