RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase
is extremely important. Check the oil before each use and
change the oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty

Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.
ADDING OIL TO CRANKCASE: INITIAL USE

the unit, put oil in the crankcase before you attempt to
start the unit.
Your unit is supplied with
one 3.04 fluid oz. (90 ml.)
bottle of SAE 30 SF, SG,
SH oil (Fig. 7).
NOTE: Save the bottle
of oil. It can be
used to measure
