CHECKING AND FILLING THE OIL
The engine is shipped without oil. It must be filled before starting the engine.
1.
Fill oil by removing the fill cap and dipstick. Wipe off any excess
oil from the dipstick.
2.
Add oil until the level reaches the bottom of the opening.
3.
Check the oil level by pushing the cleaned dipstick into the oil fill
opening. DO NOT SCREW IT IN. Remove the dipstick and inspect it.
Add oil if needed.
4.
Reinstall the cap and dipstick.
Oil capacity is 0.63 quarts (0.6 liter). Under normal conditions use 1OW-30 oil.
Use 1OW-40 oil if the engine is to be run in temperatures over 90°F (32°C).
The engine has a low-oil monitoring system. If the oil level drops too low, the
system will automatically turn off the engine.
