Check The Crankcase Oil
(Fig 1 & 2)
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; how-
ever, you must check the oil level before and after you
first start the engine.
1.
Position the machine on a level surface.
2.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean
cloth. Push the dipstick down into the dipstick
tube and make sure it is seated fully. Pull out the
dipstick and check the oil level.
3.
If the oil level is low, remove the oil fill cap (Fig
2) and gradually add small quantities of oil,
checking the level frequently, until the level
reaches the FULL mark on the dipstick.
4.
The engine uses any high-quality 10W30 deter-
gent oil having the American Petroleum
Institute—API—service classification CD.

Before Operating
Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop the engine and remove the key
from the switch.
CAUTION
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when
storing or handling lt.
•
Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is
running, hot, or when the machine is in an
enclosed area.
•
Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up
any spilled diesel fuel before starting the
engine.
•
Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place. Use diesel fuel for
the engine only; not for any other purpose.
