OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION
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 3/8
Cups: 3.04 fl. oz. (90 ml.) bottle of
SAE 30 SF, SG, SH oil or 3/8 cup
(Fig. 16).
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. 5).
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. 6).
4. Pour the entire bottle of oil
into the oil fill hole (Fig. 7).
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.
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,
Funnel
Spout
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. 8).
2. Place the gas container’s spout into the fill hole on the fuel
tank (Fig. 8) 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:
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.
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.
