ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
The unit has been filled with 15W-40 engine oil at the factory. Use
a high-quality detergent oil classified “For Service CC, SD, SE or
SF.” Detergent oils keep the engine cleaner and reduce carbon
deposits. Use oil having the following SAE viscosity rating, based
on the ambient temperature range anticipated before the next oil
change:
Temperature
Oil Grade
(Recommended)
Above 80º F (27º C) SAE 30W or 15W-40
32º to 80º F (-1º to 27º C) SAE 20W-20 or 15W-40
Below 32º F (0º C) SAE 10W or 15W-40
COOLANT
Use a mixture of half Propylene glycol base antifreeze and half
de-ionized water. Use only de-ionized water and Propylene glycol
antifreeze. When adding coolant, always add the recommended
50-50 mixture.

Do not remove the radiator pressure cap
while the engine is hot or serious burns from
boiling liquid or steam could result.

Propylene glycol base antifreeze is poison-
ous. Do not use mouth to siphon coolant
from the radiator, recovery bottle or any
container. Wash hands thoroughly after han-
dling. Never store used antifreeze in an open
container because animals are attracted to
the smell and taste of antifreeze even though
it is poisonous to them.

Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor
with propylene glycol base antifreeze. Using
any high silicate antifreeze boosters or addi-
tives also will cause overheating. We also
recommend that any soluble oil inhibitor is
NOT USED for this equipment.
