Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Note: Check the oil when the engine is cold.
WARNING
Contact with hot surfaces may cause personal
injury.
Keep your hands, feet, face, clothing, and other
body parts away from the muffler and other hot
surfaces.
Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because that could damage engine. Do not run engine
with oil below the Low mark because the engine may
be damaged.

motion-control levers to the N
