ENGINE SETUP Proper setup of your Engine will get you going as soon as possible while making sure you and your equipment are safe and cared for.
. You must add the proper amount of oil before operating the Engine for the first time. This amount is equal to the oil capacity of the engine crankcase: Model Number XP35HPE Engine Oil Capacity 2.54 qt. (2.4L) WARNING: Do not apply engine oils with additives or 2-stroke gasoline engine oils. They don’t have enough lubrication, and may shorten the engine’s service life.
High Altitude Use At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.
