Prevent Engine Damage
To prevent engine damage the engine is shipped without oil
or fuel. The engine must be fi lled with the correct grade of
oil and fuel before starting the engine. Please refer to your
engine manual for more information.
Oil Type
Always use high quality detergent oil classifi ed SAE 30 oil.
Never use additives with recommended oil. To prolong the life
of your engine it is important that the oil is changed after the fi rst
5 hours of use.
