Engine oil is a major factor affecting performance and
service life. Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.

premium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed
U.S. automobile manufacture's requirements for service
classification SG or SF. Motor oils certified SG or SF will
show this designation on the container.

toward the steering handle side and drain the engine oil
into a suitable container.

compatible with the environment. We suggest you take
used oil in a sealed container to your local recycling cen-
ter or service station for reclamation. Do not throw
it
in
the trash, pour
it
on the ground, or down a drain.
