Engine oil
recommendations
CAUTION: Engine damage
The water pump has been shipped WITHOUT oil. Any attempt to start water pump
without oil may result in engine damage and failure.
Engine oil is a key factor in deciding the engine’s performance. DO NOT use
engine oil with additives or 2-stroke gasoline oil, as they do not lubricate
properly, which may shorten the engine’s service life.
Check the engine oil level with the water pump stopped on a level ground.
Due to viscosity variances with regions and temperatures select the correct type
of oil using the chart below.
Engine oil recommended:
SAE10W-30
Capacity: 0.63 Quarts (0.6L)
