OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION
RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE
Using the proper type and weight of oil in
the crankcase is extremely important.
Check the 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
NOTE: This unit is shipped without oil. In order to avoid
damage to the unit, put oil in the crankcase
before you attempt to start the unit.
Your unit is supplied with one 3.04 fluid oz. (90 ml.)
bottle of SAE 30 SF, SG, SH oil (Fig. 6).
NOTE: Save the bottle of oil. It can be used to measure
the correct amount during future oil changes.
See Changing the Oil.
1. Unscrew the top of the bottle of oil and remove the
paper seal covering the opening. Replace the top.
Next, cut the tip off the funnel spout (Fig. 6).
