With the machine in the operating position,
carefully
pour oil into the oil fill hole. Wait 3 minutes for the
oil to settle and add enough to bring it to the point of
overflow. There should be very little, if any, oil left in
the bottle (Figure 33).
Note:
You may tip the machine forward (handle up)
to make adding oil easier. Remember to return the
machine to the operating position before checking the
oil level.
Important:
Do not tip the machine all the way
forward onto its nose, or fuel may leak out of the
machine.
Max fill: 20 oz. (0.6 l), type: automotive detergent oil
