IMPORTANT: Lifan and Honda Engines
PRIOR TO USE: FILL CRANK CASE WITH OIL.
Engine oil recommended: SAE10W-30.
As viscosity varies with regions and temperatures, select the proper
engine oil in accordance with the chart (on right).
IMPORTANT: Gear Reduction Housings
Only the Lifan gear reduction housing comes Pre-oiled! The Honda
engine gear reduction housing requires Oil! Follow manufactures
instructions for adding “Gear Oil” to the Honda gear housing.
Gasoline:
Use gasoline with a Octane level over 86. Using unleaded gasoline will decrease
the possibility of producing carbon deposit and prolong the engines service life.
Never use a mixture of gas and oil! Make sure the fuel is free of dirt and water.
