ENGINE OIL

NOTE: This engine is delivered without oil, be sure to
put oil in the engine before the starting. Use only below
recommended types of oil.
RECOMMENDED.OIL
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SH,
SJ, or equivalent. Always check the API service label on the oil container to be sure it includes the
letters SH, SJ, or equivalent.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use in the summer (for temperatures above 0°C) -
recommended oil CASTROL GARDEN 4T.
SAE 5W-40 is recommended for general use in winter (for temperatures below 0°C) -
recommended oil CASTROL MAGNATEC 5W-40.
Choose optimal oil viscosity that match the ambient temperature at which you are
going to operate the machine (fig. 8). DO NOT MIX OILS!
OIL.LEVEL.CHECK
CAUTION: Only check oil level with cold engine.
1. Place engine level. Check the oil level with the engine stopped and cooled down.
2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick (fig. 9A) and wipe it clean.
3. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck until it stops, but do not screw it in. Then
remove it. Now read off the oil level (fig. 10) on the dipstick.
4. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick, remove the oil filler cap/
dipstick, and fill with the recommended oil into the engine between the upper and lower
mark. Do not overfill.
5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick.

HIGH ALTITUDE

• At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance
will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
• High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the
carburetor. If you always operate the machine at altitudes higher than 1600 m above sea level,
have your authorized dealer install the high altitude main jet.
• This machine will not perform well at high altitudes without proper adjustment. Contact
a authorized service center for adjustment information.
