We recommend that the oil be changed after the first
5 hours of use, then once every 50 hours.
Note: Improper oil levels will cause low oil sensor
to shut off engine.

Important!
Do not run the engine with a high or low oil level as
this can cause engine damage. If you have further
questions regarding the engine, please refer to the
engine’s operating manual included with the unit.
