Filling the Engine with Oil

No Parts Required
Procedure
Important: Your machine does not come with oil in
the engine. Before starting the engine, fill the engine
crankcase with oil.
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick (Figure 6) and pour about 3/4 of
the crankcase capacity of oil into the oil-fill tube.
Note: Max fill: 0.55 l (0.58 qt), type: SAE 30 detergent
oil with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH,
SJ, SL, or higher.

3. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick into the oil-fill tube, but do not
screw it in.
5. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level on the
dipstick; refer to Figure 6.
•
If the oil level is too low, slowly pour a small
amount of oil into the oil-fill tube, wait 3 minutes,
and then repeat steps 3 through 5 until the oil level
is correct as shown in Figure 14.
•
If the oil level is too high, drain the excess
oil until the oil level is correct as shown in
Figure 14. To drain the excess oil, refer to
Changing the Engine Oil (page 16).
Important: If the oil level in the crankcase is too
low or too high and you run the engine, you may
damage the engine.
6. Install the dipstick into the oil-fill tube securely.
Important: Change the engine oil after the first 5
operating hours ; change it yearly thereafter. Refer
to Changing the Engine Oil (page 16).
