Note: Multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, and so on)
help the engine start easily in cold weather but
causes increased oil use when used in temperatures
above 32°F/0°C. Do a check of your engine oil level
frequently to prevent possible engine damage
caused by low oil level.
•
Change the oil after intervals of 50 hours of
operation. If the product is not used for 50 hours
in a year, change the oil at a minimum of 1 time a
year.
•
Do a check of the crankcase oil level before you
start the engine and after each eight (8) hours of
operation.
•
Tighten the oil fill cap/dipstick each time you do a
check of the oil level.
To do a check of the engine oil level

dipstick to examine the engine oil level. If
necessary, fill engine oil until the mark "FULL" on
the dipstick is reached. Do not fill too much
engine oil.

To replace the engine oil
If the engine is cold, start the engine for 1–2 minutes
before you drain the engine oil. This makes the
engine oil warm and faster to drain.
WARNING: Do not operate the engine
for more than 1–2 minutes before you
drain the engine oil. The engine oil
becomes very hot and can cause burn
injuries. Let the engine become cool
before you drain the engine oil.
WARNING: Use protective gloves. If you
spill engine oil on your body, clean with
soap and water.
