1. With the engine stopped and on a level surface, remove the fuel filler
cap and check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low.
2. Add fuel to the bottom of the fuel level mark of the fuel tank. Do not
overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the engine.
3. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill the fuel tank
completely. It may be necessary to lower the fuel level depending on
operating conditions. After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap
securely.
Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric
appliances, power tools, etc.
Spilled fuel is not only a fire hazard, it causes environmental damage.
Wipe up spills immediately.

ENGINE OIL

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

service category SJ or later (or equivalent). Always check the API service
label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SJ or later (or
equivalent).
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities shown in
the chart may be used when the average temperature in your area is

2. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck as shown, but do

Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. This
type of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited Warranty.

Oil Change

Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and sealing
washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and a new sealing washer, and tighten the oil drain plug
securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with
the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed container
to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do
not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or pour it down a
drain.
