Maintenance

OIL IS VERY HOT DURING OPERATION AND CAN

CAUSE BURNS. WAIT FOR ENGINE TO COOL

BEFORE CHANGING OIL.

Wait for the engine to cool, and remove the spark plug wire

before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning

procedures.

Changing the engine oil

1. Make sure the engine is stopped and is level.

2. Close the fuel valve.

3. Place a drain pan underneath the crankcase’s drain plug.

4. Remove the drain plug and, if possible, tilt the crankcase

slightly to help drain the oil out.

5. Replace the drain plug and tighten it.

6. Clean the top of the dipstick and the area around it. Remove

the dipstick by threading it counterclockwise, and wipe it oﬀ

with a clean lint free rag.

Note: Do not thread the dipstick in when checking the oil level.

7. Add the appropriate type of oil until the oil level is at the full

level. SAE 10W-30 oil is recommended for general use for

temperatures above 32°F. Use SAE 5W-30 for temperatures

consistently below 32°F.

8. read the dipstick back in clockwise.

DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE WITH TOO LITTLE

OIL. THE ENGINE WILL BE PERMANENTLY

DAMAGED.
