Oil
Oil Type: SAE 30 or 15W40 Engine Oil

The oil must be checked before every use.
We recommend doing an oil service at least
once a year, more frequently during periods of
heavy use.
1. Disconnect the spark plug HT lead cap and
with the engine oil warm, not hot, remove the
dipstick.
2. Gently tilt the machine to allow the oil to
drain from the dipstick port into a suitable
container.
3. Refill slowly with approx. 600ml of fresh
SAE 30 or 15W40 engine oil to the upper level
mark on the dipstick.
4. Stop occasionally to check the oil level.
5. Do not overfill.
6. If you do overfill, gently tilt the machine and
allow the excess oil to drain from the dipstick
port, in to a suitable container or use an oil
syringe.
7. Refit the dipstick securely.
