of oil with the
unit. Slowly pour the entire container
down the oil fill spout into the engine.

Insert and tighten dipstick,
then re-
move it to check oil level.

oil dipstick
before starting
engine.
• Check oil level before each use. Add oil
if needed.
Fill to full line on dipstick.
• Change
the oil after every 25 hours of
operation
or each season.
You may
need to change
the oil more often under

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck.
Do not overfill.
Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded
gasoline

of
87 octane.

Purchase
fuel in quantities
that can be
used within 30 days to assure fuel fresh-
ness.
Aq, CAUTION:
Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
zar
an open flame.
CAUTION:
Alcohol
blended
fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or metha-
nol) can attract moisture
which leads to
separation and formation
of acids during
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system
of an engine while in storage. To
avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage of 30
days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
next season.
See Storage Instructions for
additional information.
