gasoline leaks.
1. Check the engine oil level.
CAUTION:
• Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.
Nondetergent oils and 2-stroke oils are not recommended because they
have inadequate lubricating characteristics.
• Check the oil level with the pump on a level surface and the engine stopped.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service
classification SE or later (or equivalent). Always check the API service label on the oil
container to be sure it includes the letters SE or later (or equivalent).
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general
use. Other viscosities shown in the chart
may be used when the average
temperature in your area is within the
indicated range.
