III: Pre-Operation Inspection

1. ENGINE OIL

Use 4-stroke engine oil, API service classification SJ class or equivalent. Check

the API service label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SJ

class or equivalent.

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities shown in the

chart may be used when the average temperature in your area is within the

indicated range.

Oil level check

1. Remove the dipstick and clean it with a rag.

2. Reinsert the dipstick into the oil filling hole without screwing it in. Pull the

dipstick out and check oil level.

3. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended engine oil up to the oil upper

limit.

4. Reinstall the dipstick.

Oil Capacity = 37 oz (1.1 L)

Running the engine with insufficient engine oil may damage the engine

severely and would not be covered under warranty.

2. AIR CLEANER

Remove the air cleaner cover and check the air filter to make sure it is clean and

not damaged. Clean or replace it as necessary (see the "Maintenance" section

for maintenance of the air filter).

Never run the engine without the air filter and cover installed or damage to the

engine could result. Damage to the engine by not having the air filter and cover

installed is not covered under warranty.
