serious engine damage and void the engine warranty.
WARNING!
equipment moving parts. Do not use a pressurized
starting fluid. Vapors are flammable.
Oil Recommendations
Before starting engine, fill with motor oil, capacity is 600 ml/20
oz. Refer to viscosity chart in Figure 3-1 for oil recommendations.
Do not over-fill. Use a synthetic or non-synthetic 4-stroke, or an
equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to
meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer's requirements for
service classification SG, SF. Motor oils classified SG, SF will show
this designation on the container.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all temperature use. If
single viscosity oil is used, select the appropriate viscosity for the
average temperature in your area from the chart below.

Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick
clean.
2.
Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck. Turn the dipstick a
1/4 turn into the locked position to fully seat.
3.
Remove dipstick. If the level is low, slowly add oil to the
upper limit on the dipstick. See Figure 3-2 inset.
