Before Starting
Filling the Crankcase with Oil
The crankcase can hold 20 ounces (0.59 liters) ofoil. Use
only high-quality, SAE 30 or 10W30 weight detergent oil
that has the American Pen'oleum Institute (API) "service
classification" -- SK SG, SH, or SJ.
Before each use, make sure that the oil level is between
the Add and the Full marks on the dipstick (Fig. 7).

2. Clean around the dipstick (Fig. 7).
3. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap
counterclockwise 1/4 turn and pulling it out.
4. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth.
5. Fully insert the dipstick into the filler neck, then
remove it.
Note: To ensure an accurate oil level reading, you must
fully install the dipstick.

7.
Read the oil level on the dipstick (Fig. 7).
If the oil level reading is below the Add mark on the
dipstick, slowly pour only enough oil into the filler
hole to raise the oil level to the Full mark on the
dipstick.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
and run the engine; engine damage will result. Drain
the excess oil until the oil level on the dipstick reads
Full.
