GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Checking Engine Oil
Before lubricating, repairing, or inspecting, disengage all controls and stop
engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
NOTE: Check the oil level before each use to be sure correct oil level is maintained.
When adding oil to the engine, refer to viscosity chart below. Engine oil capacity
is 600 ml (approx. 20 oz.). Do not over-fill. Use a 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.
