PREPARING THE UNIT FOR USE
Using this Unit for the First-Time
STOP!
The following section describes the required steps for preparing this unit for the first use. Failure to correctly perform these steps can
damage this unit and/or shorten its life. If still unsure about how to perform any of these steps after reading this section, call
1-866-460-9436 Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time for customer service.
If this unit is being used for the first time, the following few steps are required to prepare it for operation:
Step 1 - Add Oil
THIS UNIT REQUIRES AT LEAST 20 OUNCES OF OIL (SAE10W-30) TO RUN.
ADD OIL UNTIL IT IS ALMOST OVERFLOWING.
THE LOW-OIL SENSOR IS VERY SENSITIVE AND THE ENGINE
WILL NOT RUN IF THE OIL IS LOW.
START WITH 20 OUNCES, THEN ADD MORE UNTIL ALMOST OVERFLOWING.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
IF THE UNIT WILL NOT START, DOUBLE CHECK THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS COMPLETELY
FULL AND ALMOST OVERFLOWING.
This unit requires engine oil to function. Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.
When new from the
package, this unit contains no oil in the engine crankcase. Add oil before operating this unit for the first time. When replenishing oil for subsequent
use of this unit, always determine that this unit has the correct quantity of oil.
To add oil to the engine crankcase:
1. Confirm that this unit is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap.
4. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to fill the engine crankcase to the correct quantity. SAE10W-30 oil is recommended for general use.
When the engine crankcase is full, the oil level should reach the lower lip of the oil filling opening as shown in Figure 2.
5. Replace the oil filler/dipstick cap and reattach the oil access panel.
NOTE: While there are two locations to add oil, it is easier to use the Back location as indicated above.
NOTE: We recommend using conventional motor oil. However, you may choose to use synthetic. Either oil can be used, but the oils cannot be mixed
and the same oil must be used throughout the life of the unit.
