11.1 ENGINE _________________________________________________________________

IMPORTANT: A separate Engine Manual, prepared by
the engine manufacturer, is supplied with the power
module. Read the engine manual carefully until you
are familiar with the operation and maintenance of
the engine. Proper
manufacturer's directions will assure maximum
service life of the engine. To order replacement
engine manuals contact the engine manufacturer.
The proper break-in of a new engine can make a
considerable difference to the performance and life of the
engine.

11.2 ENGINE OIL ______________________________________________________________

Check the engine oil at the start of each day, before
starting the engine. If the oil level is low, remove oil filler
cap and add oil as required.
See the engine manufacturer's Owners's Manual for
detailed service information.
After adding or changing oil, start and run engine at idle
with all drives disengaged for 30 seconds. Shut engine
off. Wait 30 seconds and check oil level. Add oil to bring
up to FULL mark on dipstick.
Use only SAE 10W30 engine oils with API classification
SG.SF/CC.CD.
