Oil Recommendations

Using the proper type and weight of oil in the

crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil

daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the

correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine

wear and failure.

Oil Type

Use high quality detergent oil of API (American

Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ or

higher. Select the viscosity based on the air

temperature at the time of operation as shown in the

following table.

* Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is

acceptable, up to 4

C (40

F).

**Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme cold

below -23

C (-10

F).

Figure 2. Viscosity Grades Table.

NOTE:

Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or

higher oil or extending oil change intervals

longer than recommended can cause engine

damage.

NOTE: Synthetic oils meeting the listed

classifications may be used with oil changes

performed at the recommended intervals.

However to allow piston rings to properly

seat, a new or rebuilt engine should be

operated for at least 50 hours using standard

petroleum based oil before switching to

synthetic oil.

Fuel Recommendations

WARNING: Explosive Fuel!

Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if

ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well

ventilated, unoccupied buildings, away from sparks or flames.

Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running,

since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact with hot

parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near

spilled fuel. Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.

General Recommendations

Purchase gasoline in small quantities and store in

clean, approved containers. A container with a

capacity of 2 gallons or less with a pouring spout is

recommended. Such a container is easier to handle

and helps eliminate spillage during refueling.

Do not use gasoline left over from the previous season,

to minimize gum deposits in your fuel system and to

ensure easy starting.

Do not add oil to the gasoline.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Leave room for the fuel to

expand.
