the area and not rattle during operation.

position.

4. Close panel to ensure that latch catches
the eccentric and that desired seal is

CHECK ENGINE OIL
Check the engine crankcase oil every 5 hours
of operation. Oil level MUST be maintained in
safe operating range on dipstick at all times
or engine damage will result. See engine
manual for correct oil level.
Park unit on a level surface. Refer to engine
manual for detailed instructions.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL
(Figure 12)
Change oil per engine manufacturer’s
recommendations. Refer to engine manual
for detailed instructions.
Run engine just prior to changing oil. Warm
oil will flow more freely and carry away more
contamination.
1. Place a suitable container under the unit
to catch the oil.
2. Remove the cap from the oil drain pipe.
IMPORTANT:
To drain the oil, use the oil
drain pipe supplied with unit, not the drain
plug that is shown in the engine manual.
3. Allow oil to drain fully and replace fitting.
