Filling the Crankcase with Oil
No Parts Required
Procedure
The engine crankcase is shipped without oil. Before
starting the engine, fill the crankcase with oil.
The engine
crankcase (with oil filter) can hold 0.85 L (29 oz) of oil. Use
only high-quality SAE 10W-30 weight detergent oil that has
the American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification
SH, SJ, or equivalent.
Before each use, ensure that the oil level is between the Add
and the Full marks on the dipstick (Figure 6).

Move the machine onto a level surface.
2.
Clean around the dipstick (Figure 6).
3.
Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap
