RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is
extremely important. Check the oil before each use and change
the oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, can cause
premature engine wear and failure. Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil of
API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.
NOTE: Never add oil to

ADDING OIL TO CRANKCASE: INITIAL USE
Oil Fill Hole
NOTE: This unit is shipped without oil. In order to avoid damage
to the unit, put oil in the crankcase before you attempt to
start the unit.
Your unit is supplied with one 3.04 fluid oz. (90 ml) bottle of SAE 30 SF,
SG, SH oil (Fig. 7).
Check oil before each
use and change as
needed. Refer to
Fig. 9
Changing the Oil.
RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE
NOTE: Save the bottle of oil. It can be used to measure the correct
amount during future oil changes. See Changing the Oil.
Old fuel is the primary reason for improper unit performance. Be
sure to use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline.
1.
Unscrew the top of
the bottle of oil and
remove the paper
seal covering the
opening. Replace the
top. Next, cut the tip
off the funnel spout
(Fig. 7).
NOTE: This is a four cycle engine. In order to avoid damage to the
unit, do not mix oil with gasoline.
Definition of Blended Fuels
Funnel
Spout
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as
ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water.
As little as 1% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate or form
acids when stored. Use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old), when using
alcohol-blended fuel.
