NOTE:
Due to its comparatively better lubricating characteristics (including improved oil consumption,
engine operation in frigid climates, and continued lubrication in high temperatures), SAE 15W-40
is recommended for most climates. In some circumstances, short-term use of low-viscosity engine
oil in temperatures below 23°F (-5°C) is acceptable. However, long-term use can reduce engine
life.

NOTE:
Always use clean EP (extreme pressure) grease when applying grease to the machine. Avoid using
low-viscosity grease.
