LUBRICATION
ENGINE
Check the engine oil level daily. Change the
engine oil after every 25 hours of operation. Use a
straight SAE 30-weight, API class SF engine oil. If
multiviscosity oil is used, oil consumption and
combustion deposits will increase.
Using other than API class SF oil or extending oil
change intervals could cause engine damage not
covered by the engine warranty.
The engine oil capacity is 1 qt (0.95 L).
TRANSMISSION
The transmission drives the two front wheels.
Check the oil level after every 25 hours of
operation by looking at the reservoir mounted on
top of the transmission. The cold oil level should
be 0 to 0.25 in (0 to 5 mm) above the cold mark.
Use straight SAE 20-weight, API class SF engine
oil.
