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.

9.

If the oil level is low,

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:

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.

Use Figure 15 to select the best oil viscosity for the
outdoor temperature range expected:

Figure 15

Note:

Fill the engine crankcase with oil until the

dipstick indicates that the engine oil level is correct as
shown in Figure 15. If you overfill the engine with
oil, remove the excess oil as directed in Changing the
Engine Oil.

10.

Screw the oil fill cap into the oil fill hole and hand
tighten it securely.
