CaUtion
The engine is shipped without oil in the engine. You must fill the
engine with oil before operating. Running the engine with insufficient
oil can cause serious engine damage and void the product warranty.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean. See
Figure 3.
Upper Level
NOTE: Do not screw in the dipstick when checking the oil level.
2. Slowly add oil until the oil level registers between high (H) and low
(L) on the dipstick, Figure 4. Refer to the Service and Mainte-
nance section for the correct oil viscosity and engine oil capacity.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling the engine with oil may result in the
engine smoking, hard starting or spark plug fouling.
