special additives.
NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting or exceeding the
UHTXLUHGVHUYLFHFODVVL¿FDWLRQLVDQDFFHSWDEOHRLO
at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not
alter required oil change intervals.
CAUTION: Air cooled engines run hotter than
automotive engines. The use of non-synthetic
multi-viscosity oils such as 5W30 and 10W30
in temperatures above 4°C will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using
a multi-viscosity oil, check oil level more
frequently to avoid possible engine damage
from running low on oil.
ADDING OIL
Your machine is shipped without oil in the engine.
The engine holds approximately 75 mL of oil when at
the “MAX FILL” indicator line on the oil tank window.
Included with this machine is a 75 mL container of oil

oil every 10 hours when operating the engine under
heavy load or in high temperatures. You may need to
change the oil more often under dusty, dirty conditions.

not mix oil with petrol. Purchase fuel in quantities that
can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.
CAUTION: DO NOT use alternate fuels such as
ethanol blends above 10% by volume (E-15 -
E-85) or any methanol blended fuel. Use of these
fuels can cause major engine performance and
