1. Position the machine so the Frame and Engine are level. Remove the Oil
Fill/Dipstick (Figure 6) and clean the end of it with a rag.
2. Machines are shipped with no oil. Initially add 16 oz. of the oil
recommended by the Engine Manufacturer. Wait one minute for the oil to
settle.
3. Replace the Dipstick, but DO NOT
screw it in to ensure an accurate reading
and then remove it to check the oil level (clean the Dipstick with the clean rag
after checking).
4. Continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time, rechecking the Dipstick until
the oil reaches the fill mark. Be careful not to overfill.
5. Replace the Dipstick and screw all the way down when full.
