INITIAL SETUP BEFORE OPERATION
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
WARNING! This engine has been shipped from the factory without oil or very
little oil in the crankcase. Operating your engine without the correct amount of
oil can damage it. Oil crankcase capacity: 0.6 litres.
Always check the oil level before starting the engine, make sure the engine is
on a level surface. To check oil level;
1) Turn the oil gauge dipstick (A) Fig.11 counterclockwise, remove it and clean it with
a clean cloth.
2) Fully reinsert the oil gauge dipstick and pull it out to check the oil level.
3) If the oil level is halfway up the dipstick or below, refill with SAE 10W30 oil through
the dipstick hole until the oil level reaches 3/4 up the dipstick or until it reaches the
bottom lip of the dipstick hole as shown in illustration Fig.12.
4) Reposition the oil gauge dipstick and tighten it by turning clockwise.
