Oil Level Inspection
1. Push machine to level surface.
2. Turn off LP cylinder and remove it.
3. Clean area around the oil gauge before removing it.
4. Remove the oil gauge and wipe it with a clean cloth.
5. The machine should be in an upright level position.
6. Insert the oil gauge into the tube, but do not tighten
the oil gauge.
7. Check the oil level. It should be between the “FULL”
and “ADD” marks on the oil gauge.
NOTE: If the oil level is near or below the "ADD"
mark, remove the oil gauge and add enough engine oil
to bring oil level to the "FULL" mark. (Use only SH or
SJ SAE30 Oil)
NOTE: If the oil level is too high, remove the excess
oil by loosening the oil drain valve.
CAUTION! Do not fill above the "FULL" mark. Excess
oil will cause a smoking condition and may cause the
engine to overheat.
Oil Change
1. Use only Sentinel Synthetic Propane Engine Oil.
Sentinel is specially formulated for small, hot-
temperature engines and provides a longer 250 hour
service interval. If conventional SH or SJ SAE 30 oil
is used instead of Sentinel, scheduled maintenance
MUST revert to every 100 hours to maintain engine
warranty.
2. Start and warm the engine so the oil will drain easily
and completely. Push machine to a level surface.
Stop the engine.
3. Turn off LP cylinder and remove it.
4. Locate the drain hose underneath the bulkhead
compartment. Remove the cap on the end of the oil
drain hose.
5. Place a suitable container under the end of the oil
drain hose.
WARNING! Be careful with hot oil being drained. It
may be hot enough to cause severe burns.
6. Slowly turn the valve counter-clockwise, until the oil
starts to drain.
NOTE:
In order for the oil to drain, it may be necessary
to loosen the oil fill cap.
7. When the oil has finished draining, close the drain
valve and place cap back on the end of the valve.
8. Remove oil cap and add clean Sentinel Synthetic oil.
Use 1.6 U.S. qt. (1.5 L) when the filter is not changed
and 1.8 U.S. qt. (1.7 L) when filter is changed.
9. Screw in oil gauge. Reconnect the LP cylinder to the
fuel hose.
10. Run the engine at low idle for 2 minutes. Check for
leaks around the engine.
11. Stop the engine. Check the oil level (see
Oil Level
Inspection
section).
