●
Do not thread the gauge into oil filler
to check oil level.
●
If the oil level is below the lower level
line on the dipstick, refill with the proper
oil (see table) to the upper level.
●
Change oil if it is contaminated.
(See page 16 Maintenance Schedule.)
●
Stop the engine and open the cap.
●
Use automotive unleaded gasoline only.
●
Close the fuel cock before filling the
fuel tank.
●
When filling the fuel tank, always use
the fuel filter.
●
Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting
the engine.
●
If multi-grade oil is employed, oil
consumption tends to increase when
the ambient temperature is high.
●
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil
of API service class SE or higher grade
(SG, SH or SJ is recommended).
Before checking or refilling engine oil,
be sure the engine is located on a stable,
level surface and stopped.
