Engine Oil
NOTE: Engine oil is a major factor affecting
the performance and service life of this water
pump. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils
WILL damage the engine and are not recom-
mended.
1. Use 4 stroke oil, or an equivalent high deter-
gent, premium quality motor oil certified to
meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufactur-
er’s requirements for Service Classification
SG, SF/CC, CD. This designation will be on
the motor oil container.
2. SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-
temperature use. See chart for appropriate
weights for your area.
3. Locate the oil filler cap and remove.
4. Fill oil reservoir according to the engine oil
capacity found in table 1.
5. Confirm proper fill by replacing the dip stick
and checking the oil level.
Fueling the Engine
WARNING
 Gasoline is extremely flammable and
is explosive under certain conditions.
 Fuel and refuel in a well ventilated ar-
ea with the engine stopped.
 Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in the area where the engine is
being refueled or where gasoline is
stored.
 Do not over fill the tank (there should
be no fuel in the filler neck).
 After refueling, make sure the tank
cap is closed properly and securely.
 Be careful not to spill fuel when fueling
or refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor
may ignite.
 If fuel is spilled make sure the area is
dry and free of fumes before starting
the engine.
 Avoid fuel contact with the skin or
breathing vapors for a prolonged peri-
od.
 KEEP FUEL OUT OF THE REACH
OF CHILDREN.
1. Unleaded gasoline with a octane rating of 86 or
higher is recommended because it produces
fewer engine and spark plug deposits and ex-
tends the exhaust system life.
2. Remove tank cap and fill tank.
3. Do not fill tank above the shoulder of the fuel
strainer.
4. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or
oil/gasoline mixture. KDAR recommends a
fuel stabilizer.
5. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
