Filling the Crankcase with Oil

No Parts Required
Procedure
The engine crankcase is shipped without oil. Before
starting the engine, fill the crankcase with oil. The engine
crankcase (with oil filter) can hold 0.65 L (22 oz) of oil. Use
only high-quality SAE 10W-30 weight detergent oil that has
the American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification
SH, SJ, or equivalent.
Before each use, ensure that the oil level is between the Add
and the Full marks on the dipstick (Figure 7).

Note: When the crankcase is empty, pour about 3/4 of the
crankcase capacity of oil in the crankcase, then follow the
procedure in this section.
1. Move the machine onto a level surface.
2. Clean around the dipstick (Figure 7).
3. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap
counterclockwise and pulling it out.
4. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth.
5. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck, then remove the
dipstick.
6. Read the oil level on the dipstick.

If the oil level is below the Add mark on the

the oil-fill tube, wait 3 minutes, and repeat steps 4
