6.5 Checking and adding Oil
1. Be sure the engine is located on a level surface before checking or refilling oil. Clean
around oil fill area.
2. Be sure engine is cool.
3. Unscrew dipstick and wipe clean with cloth.
4. Reinsert dipstick (do NOT thread for accurate reading).
5. Remove and check dipstick. If no oil shows on the dipstick, refill so that the oil level
appears between the low and high marks on the dipstick.
6. Change oil if contaminated.
*NOTE: See engine Owner’s Manual for proper oil maintenance instructions
6.6 Starting Procedure
1. Push the ON/OFF switch, mounted on engine, to the ON position
2. Make sure control grip is in released position and machine is securely on kick stand.
3. Move throttle control lever to center position.
4. Move choke control to choke position. Hold the handle with your left hand while pulling
the starter rope with your right. Pull the rope out slowly until the engine reaches the start
of the compression cycle (the rope will pull slightly harder at this point). Then allow the
rope to retract fully.
5. Pull the rope with a continuous full arm stroke. Keep a firm grip on the starter handle and
let the rope rewind slowly. Do not let the handle snap back against the starter.
6. Repeat steps number 2-3 above until engine starts. If engine fails to start after 3 pulls on
the rope, repeat step number 1 above as necessary. Slowly move choke control to RUN
position after engine has responded and engine warms up.
7. As the engine warms up, move the throttle lever to full throttle position. Allow engine
warm-up period before operating tiller.
⚠ NOTE: A warm engine may start without choking. Do not use the choke if engine is hot.
6.7 Stopping Engine
1. Push the ON/OFF switch, mounted on engine, to the OFF position
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting of the machine
while it is unattended.
IMPORTANT
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN OVERFILLING THE ENGINE WITH OIL WHICH WILL
IMPAIR THE ENGINE’S PERFORMANCE.
