ENGINE OIL

Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.

Recommended Oil

Use 4-stroke motor oil that
meets or exceeds the
requirements for API
service category SJ or later
(or equivalent). Always
check the API service label
on the oil container to be
sure it includes the letters
SJ or later (or equivalent).
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities
shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature in
your area is within the indicated range.

Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
1. Remove the oil filler cap.
2. Check the oil level. If it is below the upper limit, fill with the
recommended oil to the upper limit.
3. Reinstall the oil filler cap securely.
UPPER LIMIT
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited
Warranty.
The Oil Alert system will stop the engine or issue a warning before
the oil level falls below a safe limit. Refer to the instructions
provided by the equipment manufacturer.

Oil Change

Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap, oil drain plug and sealing washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and a new sealing washer, and tighten the oil drain plug
securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground,
or pour it down a drain.
3. With the engine in a level position, fill with the recommended oil
to the upper limit (bottom edge of the oil fill hole).
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage. This type of damage is not covered by the
Distributor's Limited Warranty.
4. Reinstall and tighten the oil filler cap.
