Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of a high quality detergent oil such
as SAE 30 or detergent oil classified “For Service SC, SD,
SE, SF, SG”.
Detergent oils keep the engine cleaner and retard the
formation of gum and varnish deposits. No special additives
should be used with recommended oils.
Oil Change
- Change oil while engine is warm.
- Remove oil dipstick.
- Drain oil completely through the oil fill.
- Place unit level.
- Clean area around the oil fill.
- Pour oil slowly. (Refill with new oil of proper grade.)
- Fill to "FULL" mark on dipstick.
-
DO NOT overfill.
(Capacity is approximately 1.25 pints.)
- Replace dipstick.
Caution
:
When tipping to service engine or equipment, close
fuel shut off valve and keep engine spark plug or air
cleaner side up.
