Filling the Crankcase with Oil

No Parts Required
Procedure
The engine crankcase is shipped without oil. Before
starting the engine, fill the crankcase with oil. The
engine crankcase can hold 0.65 L (22 oz) of oil. Use only
high-quality SAE 10W-30 weight detergent oil that has the
American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification SH,
SJ, or equivalent.
Before each use, ensure that the oil level is between the
lower-limit and upper-limit marks on the dipstick
1. Dipstick
2. Upper-limit mark
Note: When the crankcase is empty, pour about 3/4 of the
crankcase capacity of oil in the crankcase, then follow the
procedure in this section.
1. Move the machine onto a level surface.
2. Clean around the dipstick
3. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap
counterclockwise and pulling it out.
4. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth.
5. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck (but do not
rotate the cap clockwise to secure it), then remove
the dipstick.
6. Read the oil level on the dipstick.
•
If the oil level is below the lower-limit mark on the
dipstick, slowly pour a small amount of oil into
the oil-fill tube, wait 3 minutes, and repeat steps
