PRE-OPERATING INSTRucTIONS
Make sure the Engine’s Crankcase is filled with approximately 37 ounces of
10-30W automotive oil. Also, make sure the Engine’s Fuel Tank is filled with
approximately 1-1/2 gallon of unleaded gasoline before attempting to start the
Engine. Failure to do so WILL damage the Engine and void the Warranty.
Before adding oil check to make sure the Drain Plug (2 - page 13) is tight. Unscrew
and remove the Dipstick (15 - page 14). Pour the required amount of oil into the
Crankcase Cover (4 - page 14). Then screw the Dipstick back into the Crankcase
Cover. (See figure c, next page.)
Unscrew and remove the Fuel Filler Cap (11 - page 19) from the Fuel Tank
(9 - page 19). Pour the required amount of unleaded gasoline (mid to high oc-
tane) into the Fuel Tank. Then screw the Fuel Filler Cap back onto the Fuel Tank.
