Important: Your machine does not come with oil in
the engine. Before starting the engine, fill the engine
with oil.
Max. fill: 20 oz (0.59 l), type: SAE 30 detergent oil with an

Note: When the crankcase is empty, pour about 3/4 of
the crankcase capacity of oil in the crankcase, then do the
following:
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap
counterclockwise and pulling it out (Figure 6).
3. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick fully into the oil-fill tube, then
remove the dipstick.
5. Read the oil level on the dipstick (Figure 6).
