1. Place the machine on a level surface and initially add 1/2 of oil
recommended into the Oil Fill (Figure 10a for XD26 Honda machines or
Figure 10b for XD30 Kawasaki machines).
2. Wait one minute for the oil to settle and check the Dipstick (Figure 11a for
XD26 Honda machines or Figure 11b for XD30 Kawasaki machines).
Continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time, rechecking the Dipstick until
the oil reaches the full mark. Be careful not to overfill.
3. Remove the Gas Fill Cap and add Gas to the Fuel Tank to not more than
1/4" from the bottom of the Fill Neck with fresh, unleaded gas (Figure 10a


You must add Oil before starting the engine. This machine is shipped
without oil. Traces of oil may be in the reservoir from factory testing, but
you must add oil before starting the engine. Fill the reservoir slowly,
checking the level frequently to avoid overfilling.

To get an accurate reading when checking the oil level:
- The machine must be on a level surface.
- The dipstick SHOULD NOT be screwed down.
