ENGINE
1. Check the engine oil level daily, when in use.
Make certain that proper oil level is maintained.
NEVER overfill.
2. Change the break-in oil after the first 50 hours of
operation. Thereafter, change oil every 100
hours of operation. USE ONLY NISSAN
BRAND OIL FILTERS. USING ANY OTHER
TYPE OIL FILTER WILL VOID YOUR ENGINE
WARRANTY.
Oil Recommendation. Use high-quality detergent
oil of at least API (American Petroleum Institute)
service class SF or SG. Select the viscosity based on
the air temperature at the time of operation as shown
in the following table:
RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY GRADE
NOTE: Using less than service class SF or SG oil
or extending oil change intervals longer than
recommended can cause engine damage.
3. Re-torque the manifold and exhaust tube nuts,
cylinder head bolts, and carburetor attaching nuts
after the first 200 hours of use.
4. Check the oil level in the engine governor every
100 hours. When empty, the governor requires
approximately 1-1/2 fluid ounces of 30 weight
non-detergent oil (see Figure 18).
Drain and refill the engine governor every
500 hours.
5. Check the spark plugs every 200 hours. Clean if
necessary. Replace the spark plugs every 1000
hours. NOTE: Never sandblast spark plugs.
Spark plugs should be cleaned by scraping or
wire brushing.
