Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SJ-SN. The oil’s SAE viscosity grade
refers to the correct temperature for operation.

Note:
Multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, and so on)
help the engine start easily in cold weather but causes
increased oil use when used in temperatures above
32°F/0°C. Do a check of your engine oil level frequently
to prevent possible engine damage caused by low oil
level.
• Change the oil after intervals of 50 hours of
operation. If the product is not used for 50 hours in a
year, change the oil at a minimum of 1 time a year.
• Do a check of the crankcase oil level before you
start the engine and after each eight (8) hours of
operation.
• Tighten the oil fill cap/dipstick each time you do a
check of the oil level.
To do a check of the engine oil level
The engine in the product is filled with engine oil for
ambient temperatures of more than 32° F (0° C). For
operation in ambient temperatures of less than 32° F (0°
C), use the correct engine oil to make the product easier
to start. Refer to
Technical data on page 36
.
1. Park the product in level ground.
2. Remove the oil fill cap and dipstick and clean it with
a cloth.
3. Put the dipstick into the oil fill tube. Do not turn the
oil fill cap onto the oil fill tube.
4. Remove the dipstick. Use the gauge on the dipstick
to examine the engine oil level. If necessary, fill
engine oil until the mark “FULL” on the dipstick is
reached. Do not fill too much engine oil.

5. Put the dipstick into the oil fill tube. Make sure that
the oil fill cap is fully tightened.
Note: To replace the engine oil, Refer to
To replace
the engine oil on page 27
.
To replace the engine oil
If the engine is cold, start the engine for 1–2 minutes
before you drain the engine oil. This makes the engine
oil warm and faster to drain.
WARNING:
Do not operate the engine
for more than 1–2 minutes before you drain
the engine oil. The engine oil becomes very
hot and can cause burn injuries. Let the
engine become cool before you drain the
engine oil.
WARNING: Use protective gloves. If
you spill engine oil on your body, clean with
soap and water.
1. Put the product on a level surface and stop the
product. Refer to
To stop the product on page 15
.
2. Remove all dirt around the oil tank cap.
3. Remove the oil tank cap and dipstick.
