MAINTENANCE
Inspecting the Oil Level
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
2. Set the unit on a flat, level surface horizontally.
NOTE: Failure to keep the engine level may result in a
faulty oil level reading.
3. Remove dipstick and check oil level. When oil level is
full, the oil will be between the upper limit and lower
limit on the dipstick (Fig. 14). If the oil level is too
low, add oil. Refer to Adding Oil.
Adding Oil
1. Set the unit on a flat, level surface horizontally.
2. Clean the area around the oil fill plug (Fig. 14) to pre-
vent debris from entering the oil fill hole.
3. Unscrew the oil fill plug.
4. Insert the dipstick into the fill spout but do NOT screw
in. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Add
oil until the fluid level rises between the upper limit
and lower limit on the dipstick (Fig. 14).
NOTE: If the oil level is too high, tip the unit and drain
the excess oil into an appropriate container.
5. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
6. Reinstall the oil fill plug.
WARNING:
DO NOT overfill the oil level. Overfilling will result in too
much oil in the engine crankcase, and may cause smo-
ke or fumes that can injure the user.
CHANGING THE OIL
WARNING:
Old engine oil is considered special waste and has to
be disposed according to your local environment pro-
tection regulation. Do not pour the oil into a garbage
can, sewer, soil etc.
Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will
flow freely and carry away more impurities.
1. Clean the area around the oil fill plug (Fig. 14) to pre-
vent debris from entering the oil fill hole.
2. Unscrew the oil fill plug.
3. Tip the unit vertically to pour the oil out of the oil fill
hole and into a container (Fig. 15). Allow ample time
for complete drainage.
NOTE: Dispose of the old oil according to federal, state
and local regulations.
4. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
5. Set the unit on a flat, level surface horizontally.
6. Pour 3.37 oz. (100 ml SAE 10W-30) of SAE 30 oil
into the oil fill hole. When oil level is full, the oil will
be between the upper limit and lower limit on dipstick
(Fig. 14). If the oil level is too low, add oil. Refer to
Adding Oil.
7. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
8. Reinstall the oil fill plug.
