Refueling
With the engine stopped, remove the fuel tank cap and
check the fuel level. Refill the tank if the fuel level is
low.
Fuel recommendations

Use only unleaded gasoline octane 95 or
higher.

Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or
an oil/gasoline mixture.

Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the
engine. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool.
Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above
the fuel strainer shoulder. After refueling, tighten the
fuel tank cap securely.
Engine oil level check
In order to check the engine oil level correctly the
engine must be stopped and the machine in a level
position.
How to:

Remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it
clean.

Insert and remove the dipstick into the filler
neck to check oil level. Note: The Oil level
must be within the specified interval at the end
of the stick. If the oil level is at the lower end of
the interval, refill with oil SAE.

Screw in the filler cap / dipstick securely.
Warning: Never refill oil over the higher end of the
interval, this will damage the engine.
Engine oil change
Drain the old / staled oil while the engine is warm.
Warm oil is more fluid then cold and drains better.
How to:

Place a suitable container below the engine to
catch the used oil.

Remove the filler cap and the drain plug.

Drain completely!

Reattach the drain plug, and tighten it
securely.

correct. We suggest that you keep the used oil in a
sealed container and dispose at your recycling center
or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the
waste; pour it on the ground; or down a drain.

Remove the spark plug with a spark plug
wrench. Inspect the spark plug.

Replace it if the electrodes are worn, or if the
insulator is cracked or chipped.
