Before starting the engine

CHECK THE OIL
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory partly
filled with oil, but there most likely need to be added oil. So
check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
1. Make sure the unit is level.
NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil while the
engine runs.
2. Check the oil. Follow the procedure in the engine
manufacturer's instructions.
3. If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL
mark on the dipstick. The quantity of oil needed from
ADD to FULL is shown on the dipstick. Do not add too
much oil.
ADD GASOLINE
WARNING:
Always use a safety gasoline container.
Do not smoke when adding gasoline to the fuel tank.
Do not add gasoline when you are inside an enclosure.
Before you add gasoline, stop the engine and
let the engine cool for several minutes.
Fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline. Do not
use premium unleaded gasoline.
Make sure the gasoline is fresh and clean. Leaded
gasoline will increase deposits and shorten the life of the
valves.
CAUTION:
A mixture of alcohol (ethanol or methanol) and gasoline
(called gasohol), will attract moisture and cause acid
deposits during storage. While the unit is in storage, the
acids in the fuel can damage the fuel system.
To prevent engine problems with the fuel system, empty
the fuel system before storage of 30 days or longer as
follows.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2. Start the engine. Let the engine run until the fuel lines
and the carburetor are empty.
3. After storage, make sure you use fresh fuel. See the
storage instructions for additional information.
4. Never use engine cleaner or carburetor cleaner in the
fuel tank or permanent damage can occur.
CARBURETOR
The factory settings for the carburetor are for most
conditions. If the engine is operated under the following
conditions, you can adjust the carburetor mixture. To
adjust the carburetor, see the engine manufacturer's
instructions.
1. The engine has a loss of power or does not run
smooth.
2. A change from summer to winter operation.
3. A 4 degree Celcius change in the operation
temperature. The carburetor was adjusted at 25
degrees at the factory.
4. The engine cannot be operated above 1300 meters.

transmission is engaged. For your protection, always
make sure this system operates correctly.
