TRACTION LOCK PIN
The right traction wheel can be completely released using the
locking pin (A, Figure 12). This allows the unit to be easily moved
with the engine off.
CHECK THE OIL (BEFORE STARTING ENGINE)
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled with
oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
1. Make sure the unit is level. Use a high quality detergent oil
classified "For Service SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher".
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick (A, Figure 13) and wipe with a
clean cloth.
3. Insert the oil fill cap/dipstick and turn clockwise to tighten.
4. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and check the oil.
NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil while the engine
runs.
5. If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL mark on
the oil fill cap/dipstick. Do not add too much oil.
6. Tighten the oil fill cap/dipstick securely each time you check
the oil level.
NOTE: Synthetic 5W30 motor oil is acceptable for all temper-
atures. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. See Chart for oil rec-
ommendations.
