3. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely. It may be necessary to lower the fuel level depending on
operating conditions. After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap
securely.
Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric
appliances, power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental damage.
Wipe up spills immediately.
ENGINE OIL
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
Recommended Oil
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API
service category SJ or later (or equivalent). Always check the API service
label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SJ or later (or
equivalent).
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities shown in
the chart may be used when the average temperature in your area is
within the indicated range.
Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck as shown, but do
not screw it in, then remove it to check the oil level.
3. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick, fill
with the recommended oil (see page 8) to the upper limit mark
(bottom edge of the oil fill hole). Do not overfill.
4. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. This
type of damage is not covered by the
Distributor’s Limited
Warranty.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to
avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check
the engine oil level before startup.
Oil Change
Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and sealing
washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and a new sealing washer, and tighten the oil drain plug
securely.
TORQUE:
18 N∙m (13 lbf∙ft, 1.8 kgf∙m)
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with
the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed container
to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do
not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or pour it down a
drain.
3. With the engine in a level position, fill with the recommended oil (see
page 7) to the upper limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill hole).
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. This
type of damage is not covered by the
Distributor’s Limited Warranty.
Engine oil capacity:
0.40 L (14 US oz, 0.35 lmp qt)
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.
However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, fill
to the upper limit, and check the oil level regularly.
