area around the reservoir cap is free of dust, dirt, or
other debris.
3. If necessary, unscrew the reservoir cap and add SAE
straight 20 or 30 weight motor oil. DO NOT use
multi-grade oils. Fill until oil level reaches “FULL”
line.

Regular Maintenance
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 remove fuel filter when engine is hot, as
spilled gasoline may ignite. DO NOT spread hose
clamps further than necessary. Ensure clamps
grip hoses firmly over filter after installation.
Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL,
gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol,
gasoline additives, premium gasoline, or white
gas because engine/fuel system damage
could result.
