ASSEMBLY
Add Engine Oil
 CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly filled with the recommended type and amount of oil.
Damage to the engine as a result of failure to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.

NOTICE
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.

NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about
1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the
dipstick while checking.

NOTICE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.

NOTICE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-
in period for the engine. During the break in period we
recommend using standard automotive non-synthetic blended
oils. After the break in period synthetic lubricant can be used
but is not required. Adjusting throttle setting will increase/
decrease engine speed helping to seat piston rings. Avoid
bogging or lugging the engine down and avoid prolonged
running at constant RPM. After the 5 hour break-in period,
change the oil. Using synthetic lubricants does not increase
the recommended oil change interval.

NOTICE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance. Change
the type of engine oil used based on weather conditions to suit
the engine needs.

NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the recommended
oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting
in cold ambient < 41ºF (5ºC).
