Capacities
Engine
SAE 30 Oil - 20 oz. (0.59 L)

Unleaded gasoline, 3 US quarts (3.79 L)
Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps on the gas and oil
fills until you are ready to pour either gasoline or oil into the correct fill.
 YOU MUST ADD OIL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. This
machine is shipped without oil. Traces of oil may be in the reservoir
from factory testing, but you must add oil before starting the engine.
Fill the reservoir slowly checking the dipstick frequently to avoid
overfilling.
 To get an accurate reading when checking the oil level:
- The machine should be on a level surface.
- The dipstick should be pushed all the way down and turned a
quarter turn clockwise to ensure an accurate oil level reading.

Note: Use SAE 30 high detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or
higher. Do not use special additives. Other types of oil could cause problems
operating your machine. Please refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for
detailed oil information.
Adding Oil
1. Place the machine on a level surface and remove the Dipstick (clean the
end of the Dipstick with a rag) (Figure 7).
2. Machines are shipped with no oil. Add 1/2 of the SAE 30 high
detergent oil recommended by the engine manufacturer and wait one
minute for the oil to settle.
3. Replace the Dipstick all the way in and turn a quarter turn clockwise
to lock it in place to ensure an accurate reading. Remove it to check
the oil level (Figure 8).

rechecking the Dipstick until the oil reaches the fill mark. Be careful
not to overfill.
