Check Engine Oil Level

Service Interval: Before Each Use

Check the engine oil level at the oil fill and level check plug

(A). SEE FIGURE 16

1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

2. Remove the oil fill and level check plug (A) by twisting

it counter-clockwise. The oil should be filled up to the

mouth of the filler opening as shown in the FIGURE 16

inset.

Change Engine Oil

Service Interval: Every 50 Hours

1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

Allow the unit to cool before changing the oil.

2. Remove the oil fill and level check plug (A) by twisting it

counter-clockwise. SEE FIGURE 16

3. Place an oil drain pan below the engine and remove the

oil drain plug (B). Allow the oil to drain completely.

SEE FIGURE 16

4. Reinstall the oil drain plug (B). Tighten the plug to 125

inch pounds (14 Nm)

5. Add oil to the oil fill hole (A) until the oil level is even

with the bottom edge of the oil fill hole. SEE FIGURE 16

Use oil classied API Service Class SF,

SG, SH, SJ or better with SAE Viscosity:

Conventional*

*CAUTION: Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.

The use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)

in temperatures above 40º F (4ºC) will result in higher than normal

oil consumption. When using a multi-viscosity oil, check oil level

more frequently.

**CAUTION: SAE 30 oil, if used below 40º F (4ºC), will result in hard

starting and possible engine bore damage due to inadequate

lubrication.
