ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE LUBRICANT

See Figure 8.

Enginelubricant has amajorinfluence on engine perfor-

mance and service life. This unit is shipped with a 20W50

engine lubricant to assist in the break-in period. For best

operating performance, continuing to use 20W50 engine

lubricant is recommended, however, SAE 30, 10W30, or

10W40 are all acceptable lubricants to use in this product.

Always use a 4-stroke motor lubricant that meets or exceeds

the requirements for API service classification SJ. Check

lubricant level before each use.

NOTE: Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine lubricants will

damage the engine and should not be used.

To add engine lubricant:

 Remove the cap and seal from lubricant bottle

provided.

 Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.

 Using the funnel provided, add one entire bottle of engine

lubricant through oil fill hole.

 Reinstall the oil cap/dipstick and secure.

To check engine lubricant level:

 Place unit on a flat surface.

 Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not rethread.

 Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level. Lubri-

cant level should fall within the 2 squares on dipstick.

 If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level

rises to the upper portion of the dipstick.

 Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.

NOTICE:

Do not overfill. Overfilling the crankcase may cause

excessive smoke, oil loss, and engine damage.
