Engine Oil 

Engines are NOT supplied with engine oil, although traces of oil from the manufacturing 

process may be present. It is essential to add adequate engine oil of the correct type to the 

engine before use. 

Failure to add engine oil will void the product warranty

. • Always check engine oil 

level when the machine is in an upright position on a flat and level surface. • Do not use used or 

contaminated engine oils. • Use only engine oils of the correct type (se

Specifications

). • Perform the first oil 

change within the first 20 hours of use. Subsequently, change the oil every 20 hours of use. • It is 

recommended that the engine be warm, but not hot, when performing oil changes. When the oil is warm it 

drains faster. • Using dirty or incorrect engine oil may cause engine damage and void any warranty • Always 

use suitable tools. • Always dispose of used oil in an environmentally responsible manner and according to 

regulations. • Some engines feature oil level detection, which will prevent the engine being started or 

automatically stop a running engine if there is insufficient oil. • 

Always check the oil level and ensure is at 

or near the "MAX" indicator before using the machine

. • Some models may have 2 oil drain plugs and 

fillers on either side of the engine – it does not matter which one is used. 

4-stroke engines require engine oil in the crankcase for lubrication of internal components. Severe or 

irreparable damage may occur if the engine is allowed to run without engine oil. The engine oil level requires 

regular maintenance as per the maintenance schedule. 
To check engine oil level: 
1.  Place the machine on a flat and level surface. 
2.  Clean the machine around the oil filler cap (

A

) so that no dirt or other material enters the engine when 

the cap is removed. 

3.  Remove the oil filler cap (rotate left) until fully unscrewed. For machines without a dipstick, the oil level is 

determined by how close the oil is to the edge of the filler hole (

B

). For machines equipped with an oil 

level dipstick: 

a.  Remove the dipstick (

C

) and wipe clean with a piece of cloth or paper. 

b.  Insert the dipstick into the oil filler but do not screw it in. 
c.  Remove and inspect the dipstick – the oil level is determined by where oil can be seen on it. 

4.  Ensure that the oil level is at or just under the "maximum". If the oil level is low, add additional oil until the 

correct level is reached. If the oil level is too high, drain some oil until the correct level is reached. 

5.  When finished, re-install (rotate right) the oil filler cap until firm. Wipe off any residual oil from the 

machine.
