ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level before each use, or
every 10 hours if operated continuously. Also,
check the oil on a level surface, with the engine
stopped and in an upright position.
1. Tip the tiller on its carry handlebar as shown.
2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
3. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing
it into the filler opening. Check the oil level
shown on the dipstick.
4. If the oil level is low, fill to the edge of the oil
filler hole with the recommended oil (see
page 20). To avoid overfilling or underfilling, be
sure the engine is in a level position, as shown.
NOTICE
Running the engine with too little or too much
oil can cause engine damage.
5. Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm
oil drains quickly and completely.
1. Tip the tiller on its carrying handlebar.
2. Place a suitable container below the engine to
catch the used oil, then remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick. Tip the tiller as shown to drain the
used oil through the oil filler opening. Allow the
used oil to drain completely.
NOTICE
Improper disposal of engine oil can be harmful
to the environment. If you change your own oil,
please dispose of the used oil properly. Put it in
a sealed container, and take it to a recycling
center. Do not discard it in a trash bin or dump
it on the ground.
3. With the engine resting on the carrying
handlebar on a level surface, fill to the edge of
the oil filler hole with the recommended oil (see
page 20). Do not overfill.
Engine oil capacity: 3.4 fl oz (100 cc)
4. Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
