Filling the Engine with Oil

Parts needed for this procedure:
0.59 L Engine oil
Procedure
Important: This machine does not come with oil in the
engine. Before starting the engine, fill the engine with
oil.
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick (Figure 6) and pour about 3/4 of
the crankcase capacity of oil into the oil-fill tube.
Note: Max. fill: 0.59 L (20 oz), type: SAE 30
detergent oil with an API service classification of SF,
SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.

3. Wipe off the dipstick end with a clean cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick into the oil-fill tube, and screw it
in until it stops.
5. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level on the
dipstick; refer to Figure 7.
1. The oil level is too low;
add oil to the crankcase.
2. The oil level is too high;
remove oil from the
crankcase.
•
If the oil level is too low, add a small amount of oil
slowly to the oil-fill tube, and then repeat steps
3 through 5 until the oil level is correct as shown
in Figure 7.
•
If the oil level is too high, drain the excess oil until
you obtain the correct oil level on the dipstick. To
drain the excess oil, refer to Changing the Engine
Oil (page 18).
Important: If the oil level in the crankcase is
too low or too high and you run the engine,
you may damage the engine.
6. Install the dipstick securely by hand.
