hole. Wait 3 minutes, then check the oil level on the
dipstick by wiping the dipstick clean and then inserting,
but not screwing in, the oil fill cap into the hole.
Note: You may tip the machine forward (handle up)
a little to make adding oil easier. Remember to return
the machine to the operating position before checking
the oil level.
Important: Do not tip the machine all the way
forward onto its nose, or fuel may leak out of the
machine.
Max fill: 12 oz. (0.35 l), type: automotive detergent oil
with an API service classification of SJ, SL, or higher.

oil, remove the excess oil as directed in Changing the
Engine Oil.

tighten it securely.
