SAFETY INFORMATION & ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
ENGINE OIL
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service
life. Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
Recommended Oil
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the
requirements for API service category SJ or later (or
equivalent). Always ckeck the API sevice on the oil
container to be sure it includes the letters SJ or later
(or equivalent).
SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 is recommended for general
use. Use a full synthetic 5W-30 for starting/operating
temperatures 5°F (-15°C) and -13°F (-25°C). Other
viscosities shown in the chart may be used when aver-
age temperature in your area is within indicated range.
Batteries
Charge batteries in an open, well- ventilated area, away
from sparks. Unplug battery charger before connecting
or disconnecting from battery. Wear protective clothing
and use insulated tools.
Type of Fuel
Use only clean, fresh, unleaded regular grade gasoline
to run engine.
CAUTION: DO NOT MIX OIL WITH GASOLINE. USE
ONLY NO. 1 OR NO. 2 HEATING OIL (ASTM D306)
FOR BURNER.
Type and Quality of Oil
Engine oils with API Service Classifications: SF, SG,
SH or SJ are recommended.
NOTE: Using multi-grade oils (5W-20, 10W-30 and
10W-40) will increase oil consumption. Check oil level
more frequently when using them.
Handling Waste Products and Chemicals
Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake
fluid, batteries, can harm the environment and people.
Do not use beverage containers for waste fluids some-
one may drink from them.
Using a Spark Arrestor
The engine in this machine is not equipped with a spark
arrestor muffler. It is a violation of California Public
Resource Code Section 4442 to use or operate this
engine on or near any forest-covered, brush-covered
or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is
equipped with a spark arrestor meeting applicable local
or state laws. Other states or federal areas may have
similar laws.
A spark arrestor for your machine maybe available from
your authorized dealer. An installed spark arrestor must
be maintained and in good working order.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK
• Pump oil (SAE 10W-40 non-detergent oil)
• Gear reduction (90W gear lube)
• Cold clean fresh water supply (6 GPM • 3/4"
(15.875 mm) • 20 PSI).
• Hose, nozzle
• Fuel (unleaded 86 or higher octane)
