DS-SERIES DUOSCREED — STARTING
Engine Pre-Check
1. Fill the fuel tank (Figure 8 ) with unleaded gasoline. DO NOT
over fill. Topping-off to filler port is dangerous, as it tends to
spill fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.

1. Place the engine in a level position.
2. Check the engine oil level by unscrewing the engine oil dip
stick (Figure 9) from its holder.
3. If oil is not observed at the edge of the oil filler hole, fill with
oil until oil is present at edge of oil filler hole. Remember to
add oil slowly to avoid overflowing, as the engine oil tank
capacity is small.
