Filling the Engine with Oil
No Parts Required
Procedure
Important: Your machine does not come with oil in the engine. Before starting the engine, fill the engine
with oil.
Engine oil capacity: 0.47 L
Oil viscosity: SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 detergent oil
API service classification: SJ or higher
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap counterclockwise and pulling it out. Figure 7.
3. Carefully pour about 3/4 of the engine capacity of oil into the oil-fill tube..
4. Wait about 3 minutes for the oil to settle in the engine.
5. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth.
6. Insert the dipstick into the oil-fill tube, then remove the dipstick.
7. Read the oil level on the dipstick (Figure 7).
•
If the oil level on the dipstick is too low, carefully pour a small amount of oil into the oil-fill tube, wait
3 minutes, and repeat steps 5 through 7 until the oil on the dipstick is at the correct level.
•
If the oil level on the dipstick is too high, drain the excess oil until the oil on the dipstick is at the
correct level; refer to Changing the Engine Oil (page 29).
Important: If the oil level in the engine is too low or too high and you run the engine, you may damage the
engine.
8. Install the dipstick securely.
