described in
Maintenance

Any attempt to crank or start the engine
before it has been properly filled with the recommended
oil could result in equipment failure.
• Refer to
Maintenance
for oil fill information.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.
NOTICE
