Move the machine to a level surface.
2.
Clean around the oil-fill cap (
).
3.
Unscrew the oil-fill cap and remove it.
4.
Slowly
pour oil into the oil-fill 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:
To determine the proper oil level on the
dipstick, refer to
.
Figure 7
1.
The oil level is at its
maximum.
3.
The oil level is too
low—add oil to the
crankcase.
2.
The oil level is too
high—remove oil from
the crankcase.
Note:
Fill the engine crankcase with oil until the
dipstick indicates that the engine-oil level is correct as
shown in
. If you overfill the engine with oil,
remove the excess oil as directed in
(page )
.
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.
5.
Screw the oil fill cap into the oil-fill hole and hand
tighten it securely.

Adjusting the Control Cable
No Parts Required
Checking the Control Cable
Service Interval:
After the first hour—Check the control
cable and adjust it if necessary.
Yearly—Check the control cable and adjust it if
necessary.
Important:
You must check and may need to adjust
the control cable before you operate the machine for the
first time.
Move the control bar back toward the handle to remove the
slack in the control cable (
).

2 to 3 mm (1/16 to 1/8
inch)
Note:
Ensure that a gap of 2 to 3 mm (1/16 to 1/8 inch)
exists between the control bar and the handle (
).
Important:
The control cable must contain some slack
when you disengage the control bar for the rotor blades
to stop properly.
