carefully pour oil into the oil fill hole to the point
of overflow (Figure 30).
Max fill: 20 oz. (0.6 l), type: automotive detergent oil
with an API service classification of SJ, SL, or higher.
Use Figure 29 below to select the best oil viscosity
for the outdoor temperature range expected:
1. Using SAE 30 at outdoor
temperatures below 40°F
(4°C) will result in hard
starting.
Note: 0W30 synthetic oil is acceptable for use in
cold temperatures.

2. Using 10W-30 at outdoor
temperatures above
80°F (27°C) may result in
increased oil consumption;
therefore, check the oil
level more frequently in
these circumstances.
9. Screw the oil fill cap into the oil fill hole, and hand
tighten it securely.
10. Wipe up any spilled oil.
11. Dispose of the used oil properly at a local recycling
center.

2. Rotate the discharge chute so that it faces forward.
3. Remove the discharge chute, the discharge chute
handle, and the chute seal by removing the 3 large
