ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE OIL
See Figures 6 - 7, page 20.
NOTE: This machine has been shipped with approximately
2 oz. of oil in the engine from testing. You must add oil to
the engine before starting it the first time.
NOTICE:
Any attempt to start the engine without adding oil
will result in engine failure.
To add engine oil:
 Place air compressor on a flat, level surface.
 Unscrew the engine oil cap/dipstick by turning counter-
clockwise.
 Before first use, pour the entire contents of the oil bottle
provided into the oil reservoir.
After initial use, add 4-stroke engine oil (SAE 30 or SAE
10W30) until the fluid level rises between the hatched
area on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
NOTE: Avoid using too much oil. Ensure that the level of
the oil does not rise above the upper hatched area.
 Replace the engine oil cap/dipstick and securely tighten.
NOTE: This engine has a total oil capacity of 20 oz. (0.6 liters).
To check engine oil level:
 Set engine on a flat surface.
 Remove engine oil cap/dipstick.
 Wipe engine oil cap/dipstick clean and re-seat in hole.
Do not rethread.
 Remove engine oil cap/dipstick again and check oil level. Oil
level should be between the hatched area on the dipstick.
 If level is low, add engine oil until the fluid level rises to
the upper portion of the hatched area on the dipstick.
 Replace and secure the engine oil cap/dipstick
NOTICE:
Do not overfill. Overfilling the crankcase may cause
excessive smoke and engine damage.
