Fills until you are ready to pour either gasoline or oil into the correct Fill.
Note:
You will need approximately 15 to 22 ounces of SAE 30 high detergent oil
depending on Engine type. Use only SAE 30 high detergent oil classified “For Service
SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher. Do not use special additives. Other types of oil could
cause problems with the operation of your machine. Please refer to your Engine
Owner’s Manual for detailed information on oil quantity and cold temperature oil

Fill the reservoir slowly,
checking the level frequently to avoid overfilling.
To get an accurate reading when checking the oil level:
- The machine should be on a level surface.
- The dipstick must be screwed down to ensure an accurate oil level
reading.
