CHECK THE ENGINE OIL
The Onan engine is shipped with 3 quarts of oil in the crankcase;
however, the oil level must be checked before and after the
engine is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Screw
the dipstick into the filler neck and make sure it is seated
fully. Unscrew the dipstick out of the filler neck and check
the level of oil. If the oil level is low, add enough to raise
the level to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
Note: If the level of oil is at the ADD mark on the dipstick,
add 1 quart of oil to raise the oil level to FULL. Do not
overfill
3. Pour oil into the filler neck until the level is at the FULL
mark on the dipstick. The Onan engine uses any high-quali-
ty oil having the American Petroleum Institute— APl—
"service classification" SF or SG. Recommended viscosity
(weight) of oil is SAE 30.
IMPORTANT: The Hydroject 3000 operates at very
high engine loads, so check the level of oil every 8 oper-
ating hours or daily. A new engine may consume some
oil until broken in. Initially, change the oil after the first
25 hours of operation; thereafter, under normal condi-
tions, change the oil and filter after every 100 hours of
operation. However, change oil more frequently when
the engine is operated in extremely dusty or dirty condi-
tions.
FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH
GASOLINE
THE TORO COMPANY STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE
USE OF FRESH CLEAN, UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE
GASOLINE IN TORO GASOLINE POWERED PRODUCTS.
UNLEADED GASOLINE BURNS CLEANER, EXTENDS
ENGINE LIFE, AND PROMOTES GOOD STARTING BY
