Lubrication

Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SG-SL. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade
according to your expected operating temperature.

C -30 -30
TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
CAUTION! Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30
etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-
viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption
when used above 32°F. Check your engine oil level
more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from
running low on oil.
• Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at
least once a year.
• Check the engine oil level before starting the engine
and after each 5 hours of continuous use. Tighten oil
plug securely each time you check the oil level.
