RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is
extremely important. Check the oil before each use and change
the oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil,
can cause premature engine wear and failure.
Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil of API (American Petroleum
Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.
ADDING OIL TO CRANKCASE: INITIAL USE
NOTE: This unit is shipped
without oil. In order to avoid
damage to the unit, put oil in
the crankcase before you
attempt to start the unit.
Your unit is supplied with one 3.04
fluid oz. (90 ml.) bottle of SAE 30
SF, SG, SH oil (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Save the bottle of oil. It can
be used to measure the correct amount during future oil
changes.
See Changing the Oil.
1. Unscrew the top of the
bottle of oil and remove the
paper seal covering the
opening. Replace the top.
Next, cut the tip off the
funnel spout (Fig. 2).
2. Tip unit so that the back of
the engine is facing up in a
vertical position.
3. Remove the oil fill plug from the crankcase (Fig. 3).
4. Pour the entire bottle of oil
into the oil fill hole (Fig. 4).
NOTE: Never add oil to the fuel
or fuel tank.
5. Wipe up any oil that may
have spilled and reinstall the
oil fill plug.
Check oil before each use and
change as needed. Refer to
Checking the Oil Level.
WARNING: OVERFILLING OIL CRANKCASE MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Check and
maintain the proper oil level in the crank case; it is
important and cannot be overemphasized. Check
the oil before each use and change it as needed.
See Changing the Oil.

RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE
Old fuel is the primary reason for improper unit performance.
Be sure to use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline.
NOTE: This is a four cycle engine. In order to avoid damage to
the unit, do not mix oil with gasoline .
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates
such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended
fuel absorbs water. As little as 1% water in the fuel can make
fuel and oil separate or form acids when stored. Use fresh fuel
(less than 60 days old), when using alcohol-blended fuel.
Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable,
follow recommended precautions:
• Always use fresh unleaded gasoline
• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL® or an equivalent
• Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit
Using Fuel Additives
The use of fuel additives, such as STA-BIL® Gas Stabilizer or
an equivalent, will inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation
of gum deposits. Using a fuel additive can keep fuel from
forming harmful deposits in the carburetor for up to six (6)
months. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel
according to the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel
additives directly to the unit's gas tank.
FUELING THE UNIT
1. Remove the fuel cap (Fig. 5).
2. Place the gas container’s spout into the fill hole on the fuel
tank (Fig. 5) and fill the tank.
NOTE: Do not overfill the tank.
3. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.
4. Reinstall the fuel cap.
5. Move the unit at least 30 ft. (9.1 m) from the fueling source
and site before starting the engine.
NOTE: Dispose of the old gasoline in accordance to Federal,
State and Local regulations.

WARNING: Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated
outdoor area. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilt fuel. Do
not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
WARNING: Gasoline is extremely flammable.
Ignited vapors may explode. Always stop the engine
and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Do
not smoke while filling the tank. Keep sparks and
open flames at a distance from the area.
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury
from fuel spray. Never operate the unit without the
fuel cap securely in place.
