MAINTENANCE
5. Remove the drain plug and, if possible,
tilt the crankcase slightly to help drain
the oil out into the pan. Recycle used oil.
6. Replace the drain plug and tighten it.
2. Adding Engine Oil:
1.
Place product on flat level surface.
2. Fill crankcase with required amount of
fresh clean engine oil (0.6 Quart), using
table below to determine the correct
viscosity.
3. Replace dipstick in hole, but don't thread
in. Remove the dipstick to confirm oil
level. Replace dipstick and tighten
to finger tight, DO NOT Use a tool to
tighten. Over tightening will break or
damage the dipstick threads.
NOTICE: All oil should meet minimum
American Petroleum Institute (API) Service
Class SJ, SL or better. Use no special
additives. Select the oil's Viscosity grade
according to the expected operating
temperature.
(See chart below)
• Above 40° F, use 1 0W-30
• Between 40° F and 10°F, use 1 0W-30
• Below 10°F, use synthetic 5W-30
NOTICE: Do not run the engine with too
little oil. If equipped with Low Oil Shutdown,
the engine will not start with low or no
engine oil.

be damaged.
4. When installing a new spark plug, adjust
the plug's gap to the specification on the
Specifications chart. Do not pry against
the electrode, the spark plug can be
damaged.
• Install the new spark plug or the cleaned
spark plug into the engine.
• Gasket-style - Finger-tighten until the
gasket contacts the cylinder head, then
tighten about 1/2-2/3 turn more.
5. Non-gasket-style - Finger-tighten until
the plug contacts the cylinder head, then
tighten about 1/16 turn more.
6. Reattach the spark plug cap securely.
