CHECK THE CRANKCASE OIL
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; how-
ever, the level of oil must be checked before and
after the engine is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean
cloth Insert the dipstick into the tube and make
sure it is seated fully. Remove the dipstick and
check the level of oil . If the oil level is low,
remove the filler cap and add enough oil to raise
the level to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
3. Gasoline engines use any high-quality detergent
oil having the American Petroleum Institute—
API—“service classification” SG or SG/CD.
Seethe viscosity chart for recommended weight
to use.
4. Pour oil into the fill opening until the oil level is
up to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Add the
oil slowly and check the level often during this
process. DO NOT OVERFILL.
IMPORTANT: Check the level of oil every 8
operating hours or daily. Change the oil and
filter initially after the first 50 hours of opera-
tion, thereafter, change the oil and filter every
100 hours. However, change the oil more fre-
quently when the engine is operated in
extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
