OPERATION
ENGINE
Change and add oil according to chart below. Do not overfill. Engine oil capacity is 2 quarts. We recommend
high-quality detergent oils classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives. Outdoor
temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the
outdoor temperature range expected.
SAE VISCOSITY GRADES
Use of multi-viscosity oils (10W-30, etc.) above 40° F (4° C) will result in high oil consumption and possible
engine damage. Check oil level more frequently if using these types of oils.
SAE 30 oil, if used below 40° F (4° C), will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage due to inad-
equate lubrication.
DAILY CHECKLIST
Use all procedures and parts prescribed by the manufacturer's. Read the engine manual
before operation.
The suggested maintenance checklist is not offered as a replacement for the manufacturer’s but as a supple-
ment. You must adhere to guidelines established by manufacturer for warranty coverage. In adverse conditions
such as dirt, mud or extreme temperatures, maintenance should be more frequent.
DAILY CHECKLIST
1. Check park brake adjustment. Adjust as required.
2. Check engine oil level. Add as needed. DO NOT OVERFILL.
