IMPORTANT: DO NOT over fill. Level must not ex

ceed full (F) mark. Oil level MUST be maintained

in safe operating range on dipstick at ail times or

engine damage will result.

Changing

IMPORTANT: Change oil after first 2 hours of

operation, thereafter change oil every 25 hours

of operation (more often in dusty, dirty condi

tions). See chart for proper type and viscosity.

NOTE: Run engine just prior to changing oil. Oil

will flow more freely and carry away more con

tamination when warm.

plug. After oil has drained replace plug.

cleaner removed. Cperatihg engine with an ex-

trernely dirty air cleaner for only a brief period of

time can cause engine darnage.

extremely dirty or dusty conditions.)

oil off dipstick, Insert dipstick into fill hole and

turn slowly until cap bottoms firmly. Remove

dipstick and observe oil level. If low, add clean

fresh oil (of same type and viscosity as is in
