Check Engine Oil
1. Place unit horizontally, tank side down, with the auger
propped up to make it level. SEE FIGURE 2
2. Unscrew the dipstick, wipe off dipstick with rag, and
re-install the dipstick by threading it all the way in.
3. Remove the dipstick and examine where the oil level
is sitting. If the oil is within the hash marks, the oil level
is sufficient. If the oil is below the hash marks, add oil, if
it's above the hash marks, remove oil.
Changing Engine Oil
1. Remove dipstick from unit.
2. Rotate unit over on its side and drain oil into approved
container until oil pours completely out of unit.
3. With all the oil out of the unit, pour 3.7 oz of 0W-40 oil
into the crankcase.
4. Re-install the dipstick.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not overfill the unit with oil. Doing
so could cause damage to occur within the engine.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your unit comes with fully synthetic
0W-40 ready to pour; oil needs to be added before initial
use. High quality oil is recommended for your high
compression propane engine, it is important to use the
oil recommended for easy cold starting and to prevent
premature engine wear.
