4.
Filling the Engine with Oil
Parts needed for this procedure:
Bottle of engine oil
Important: Before starting the engine, fill the
engine with oil. Your machine does not come
with oil in the engine, but it does come with a
bottle of oil.
Max fill: 12 oz. (0.35 L)
Type: Automotive detergent oil with an API
service classification of SJ, SL, or higher.
Use Figure 4 to select the best oil viscosity for
the outdoor temperature range expected.
Procedure
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Clean around the oil fill cap.
3. Unscrew the oil fill cap and remove it.
4. Slowly pour oil into the oil fill hole. Wait 3
minutes, and then check the oil level on the
dipstick by wiping the dipstick clean and
then inserting, but not screwing in, the oil fill
cap into the hole.
Note:
Refer to Figure 5 to determine the
proper oil level on the dipstick.
Note:
Fill the engine crankcase with oil until
the dipstick indicates that the engine oil
level is correct as in Figure 5. If you overfill
the engine with oil, remove the excess oil
as directed in ―Changing the Engine Oil.‖
Note:
You may tip the machine forward
slightly to make adding oil easier. Remember
to return the machine to its operating position
before checking the oil level.
Important: Do not tip the machine all the
way forward onto its nose or fuel may
leak out of the machine.
5.
Screw the oil fill cap into the oil fill hole and
hand tighten it securely.
