Adding the Engine Oil
WARNING
When adding oil, be careful not to spill any, but keep a workshop rag handy
just in case there are any spills.
If any oil should spill onto the engine, carefully wipe it away as it may cause a
fire.
Do not leave a flammable item such as a cloth or cotton work glove on the
engine. Such items may trigger a fire.

ADVICE
Prevent dirt from entering the filler port when adding the oil. If foreign matter
mixes with the oil, it could damage the engine.
When the oil is added rapidly through a funnel attached to the filler port, the oil
inside the head cover may overflow from the breather. Add the oil gently.
When the oil is added as much as exceeding the "FULL" position, this may
cause an engine malfunction. Wait for 10 - 20 minutes after the oil is added,
and make sure to check the oil level using the oil dipstick.
Be careful not to spill engine oil onto the generator drive belt during refilling,
as doing so may damage the generator drive belt.

When the engine oil level is near the "ADD" position, remove the oil filler cap, pull out
the oil dipstick, and then add the oil. After adding the oil, securely install the oil filler
cap and the oil dipstick.
