Before Starting

Filling the Crankcase with Oil

The crankcase can hold 22 ounces (0.65 liters) of oil. Use
only high-quality, SAE 30 or SAE 10W30 weight detergent
oil that has the American Petroleum Institute (API) service
classification SF, SG, SH, or SJ.
Before each use, ensure that the oil level is between the
Add and the Full marks on the dipstick (Fig. 8).
