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. OIL & FUEL INFORMATION 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. 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. 6). 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. 6). 2. Place unit on a flat, level surface. 3. Remove the oil fill plug from the crankcase (Fig. 8). 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: Dispose of the old gasoline in accordance to Federal, State and Local regulations. 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 Funnel Spout Fill Level Fig. 6 O-Ring Oil Fill Plug Fig. 8 Oil Fill Hole Fig. 7 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 2.
