PRE-OPERATION CHECK
ENGINE OIL
l Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and
service life. Nondetergent oils and 2-stroke engine oils are not
recommended because they have inadequate lubricating charac-
teristics.
l Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE with the engine on a
level surface and the engine stopped.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or
exceeds the requirements for API ser-
vice classification SF or SG. Always
check the API SERVICE label on the oil
container to be sure it includes the
letters SF or SG.
