CAUTION
Engine shipped without oil. Failure to add oil will result in
serious engine damage.
A bottle of SAE 30 engine oil is included with your tiller. Refer
to the chart on the right for alternative oil types to use at
different temperatures. Always use a high quality detergent
oil classified "For Service, SG, SH, SJ" or higher. Do not use
special additives.
CAUTION
Always use recommended oil type. Using dirty oil or incorrect
oil type such as 2-stroke engine oil will shorten engine life.
NOTE: Engine Oil Capacity is 600 ml. For first time fill, simply
add the entire contents of the provided oil bottle to the
crankcase.
HOW TO CHECK OIL LEVEL AND FILL TO PROPER LEVEL
WARNING
Before checking oil, make sure engine is off, and spark plug
wire has been disconnected from spark plug.
1. Place the tiller on a level surface and make sure
the depth regulator lever is set so the main frame of the
tiller is level. (See Figure 6)
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean with cloth.
(See Figure 6)
3. Insert dipstick into fill spout but do NOT screw in. Remove
dipstick and check oil level.
4. When oil level is full, the oil will be at upper limit on dip stick.
If oil level is near or below the lower limit, oil must be added.
(See Figure 7)
5. Add oil slowly until the oil level reaches the upper limit of the
dipstick. Use a funnel or nozzle to reduce spillage.
