NOTiCE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the
dipstick while checking.
NOTiCE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance
section for recommended service intervals.
CAUTiON
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
NOTiCE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-
in period for the engine. During the break in period we
recommend using standard automotive non-synthetic
blended oils. After the break in period synthetic oil can
be used but is not required. Adjusting throttle setting will
increase/decrease engine speed helping to seat piston
rings. Avoid bogging or lugging the engine down and avoid
prolonged running at constant RPM. After the 5 hour
break-in period, change the oil. Using synthetic oil does not
increase the recommended oil change interval.
