Add Engine Oil

CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly filled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage to the semi-
trash pump as a result of failure to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.
NOTICE
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
1. Place the semi-trash pump on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add up to 0.6 qt. (0.6 L) of oil (not included) and
replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show
oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw
in the dipstick while checking.
NOTICE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to
the Maintenance section for recommended service
intervals.
Add Engine Oil Cont'd.
CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
NOTICE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the
break-in period for the engine. During the break in
period we recommend using standard automotive
non-synthetic blended oils. After the break in
period synthetic lubricant can be used but is not
required. Adjusting throttle setting will increase/
decrease engine speed helping to seat piston
rings. Avoid bogging or lugging the engine down
and avoid prolonged running at constant RPM.
After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
Using synthetic lubricants does not increase the
recommended oil change interval.

NOTICE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine
performance. Change the type of engine oil used
based on weather conditions to suit the engine
needs.
NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial
break-in period. Using synthetic oil does not
increase the recommended oil change interval.
