_ ARNING: OVERFILLING OIL CRANKCASE MAY CAUSE

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Check and maintain the proper oil

level in the crankcase; it is important and cannot be

overemphasized. Check the oil before each use and change it as

needed. See Changing the Oil.

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 oil, can cause premature engine wear and failure.

Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil of API (American Petroleum Institute)

service class SF,SG, SH.

ADDING OIL TO CRANKCASE: INITIAL USE

NOTE: This unit is shipped without oil. In order to avoid damage to the

unit, put oil in the crankcase before attempting to start the unit.

The unit is supplied with one 3.04 fluid oz. (90 ml.) bottle of SAE 30 SF, SG,

SH oil (Fig. 5).

NOTE: Save the bottle of oil. It

can be used to measure

the correct amount

during future oil

changes. See Changing

the Oil.

1. Unscrew the top of the

bottle of oil and remove the Funnel /

paper seal covering the Spout L_

opening. Replace the top.

Next, cut the tip off the

funnel spout (Fig. 5). Fig.5

or fuel tank.

5. Wipe up any oil that may

have spilled and reinstall the

oil fill plug. Oil Fill Hole

Check oil before each use and Fig.6

change as needed. Refer to

Checking the Oil Level. Oil Fill Plug

RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE

Old fuel is the primary reason for

improper unit performance. Be

sure to use fresh, clean, unleaded

gasoline. ®-Ring

NOTE: Dispose of the old

gasoline in accordance

to Federal, State and Oil Fill

Hole

Local regulations.

NOTE: This is a four cycle

engine. In order to avoid Fig. 7

damage to the unit, do not mix oil with gasoline.

Definition of Blended Fuels

-- I_ ARNING: Fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol will likely

damage the engine and void the warranty.

Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol,

methanol or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1%

water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate or form acids when stored.

Use fresh fuel (less than 30 days old), when using alcohol-blended fuel.

Using Blended Fuels

If choosing to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow

recommended precautions:

Always use fresh unleaded gasoline

• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL@ or an equivalent

• Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit

Using Fuel Additives

The use of fuel additives, such as STA-BIL® Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent, will

inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. Using a fuel additive

can keep fuel from forming harmful deposits in the carburetor for up to six (6)

months. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml.)of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the

instructions on the fuel additive container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the

unit's gas tank.

WARNING:Gasolineisextremelyflammable.Ignitedvapors
