6.2.1
Adding oil
Be sure to put oil in the engine before starting. Use a clean and high-quality oil SAE30 and API.SG, SH or SJ
classification.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements
for API service classification SH, SJ, or equivalent. Always
check the API service label on the oil container to be sure it
includes the letters SH, SJ, or equivalent.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other
viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the average
temperature in your area is within the indicated range.
Engine oil capacity:
DG350:
0.4 l
DG450 (DYM1P64FA): 0.5 l

without screwing it in; remove it to check the oil level.
4.
If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the
dipstick, refill with the recommended oil to the upper limit
mark (bottom edge of the oil fill hole). Do not overfill.

6.2.3
Adding fuel
DANGER!
Petrol is highly flammable.
Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life.
Never use an oil/ gasoline mixture.
● Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and open fire away.
● Refuel only outdoors.
● Wipe up spills immediately.
Fuel can damage paint and some types of plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling your fuel tank. Damage
caused by spilled fuel is not covered under warranty. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline. Avoid getting
dirt or water in the fuel tank.
CAUTION: This engine is delivered without oil. Starting
the engine without oil will destroy it.
