detergent oils are acceptable if classied for service
SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. DO NOT use special
additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil
viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the
best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range
expected.
* Below 4°C (40°F) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 27°C (80°F) the use of 10W30 may cause
increased oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
Checking Oil Level
Oil level should be checked prior to each use or
at least every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level
maintained.
