PREPARING THE ENGINE FOR USE
Using the Engine for the First Time
The following section describes steps you must follow to prepare your engine for
first-time use. If after reading this" section, you are unsure about how to perform any
of the steps please call [phone] M-F 8-5 CT for customer service. Failure
to perform these steps properly can damage your engine or shorten its"life.
If you are using the engine for the first time, there are a few steps you must take to
prepare it for operation:
Add Oil
The engine requires engine oil to operate properly. The engine, when new from the
carton, contains no oil in the crankcase. You must add the proper amount ofoil before
operating the engine for the first time. This amount, which is equal to the oil capacity of
the crankcase, is 20.2 fluid oz.
For general use, we recommend SAE 10W/30 oil to fill the engine crankcase.
To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the engine is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as shown in figure 1.
3. Using a funnel, add 20.2 fluid ounces ofoil into the crankcase. You will know
the crankcase is full when the oil level has reached the lower lip of the opening
you have just poured the oil into (see figure 2).
4. Replace oil filler cap.
