not to allow
dirt to enter the engine when checking
or
adding oil or fuel.
Use clean oil and fuel
and store in approved,
clean, covered
containers,
use clean fill funnels.
CHECK
ENGINE
OIL LEVEL
The engine in your unit has been
shipped, from the factory, already
filled
with SAE 30 summer weight oil.
1. With engine
level, clean area around
oil filler plug and remove plug.
2.
Engine oil should be to point of
overflowing
when engine is level.
• For approximate
capacity see "PROD-
UCT SPECIFICATIONS"
on page 3 of
this manual.
All oil must meet A.P.I.
Service
Classification SF-SJ.
• For cold weather operation you should
change oil for easier starting (See oil
viscosity chart
in the Maintenance
section of this manual).
• To change engine oil, see the Mainte-
nance section in this manual.
Oil Fill
ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank.
Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded
gasoline.
(Use of leaded
gasoline will increase
carbon and lead
oxide deposits and reduce valve life.)
IMPORTANT:
When operating in tem-
peratures
below 32°F(0°C),
use fresh,
clean, winter grade gasoline to help
insure good cold weather starting.
_I_CAUTION:
Alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol
or using ethanol or
methanol)
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 section of this manual for
additional information.
Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent
damage may occur.
