NOTE: Use only the recommended High Detergent Engine Oil. Other types of oil

Owner’s Manual for detailed oil information.

1. Position the machine so the Frame and Engine are level. Remove the Oil

Fill/Dipstick (Figure 22) and clean the end of it with a rag.

2. Machines are shipped with no oil. Initially add 16 oz. of the oil

recommended by the Engine Manufacturer. Wait one minute for the oil to
settle.

3. Replace the Dipstick, and screw it in to ensure an accurate reading and then

remove it to check the oil level (clean the Dipstick with the rag after
checking).

4. Continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time, rechecking the Dipstick until

the oil reaches the fill mark. Be careful not to overfill.

5. Replace the Dipstick and screw all the way down when full.

6. Remove the Gas Fill Cap and fill the Gas Tank with fresh, unleaded gas (with

a minimum of 85 Octane) to approximately 1" to 1-1/2" below the top of the
fill neck to allow for fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill and reinstall the
Gas Fill Cap before starting the engine. See your Engine Owner’s Manual for
more detailed information.

NOTE: To refill the Gas Tank, turn the engine OFF and let the engine cool at least

five minutes before removing the Gas Fill Cap.

The Frame and Engine must be level to get an accurate reading when
adjusting the oil level. Use the Jack to adjust the height of the Log Splitter to
level the Frame.
