To prevent accidental start-up, shut off 

the engine and remove the ignition key before 

performing any type of engine maintenance.

Periodic inspection and adjustment of the engine is essential if 

high level performance is to be maintained. Regular maintenance 

will also ensure a long service life. The required service intervals 

and the type of maintenance to be performed are described 

in the table below. Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, 

whichever occur first. More frequent service is required when 

operating in adverse conditions.

When adding oil to the engine, refer to the viscosity chart 

below (Fig. 7-1). Engine oil capacity is 600 ml (approx. 20 

oz.). Do not over-fill. Use a 4-stroke, or an equivalent high 

detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to meet or 

exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for service 

classification SG, SF. Motor oils classified SG, SF will show this 

designation on the container.

DO NOT use non-detergent oil or 

2-stroke engine oil. It could shorten the engine’s 

service life. 

NOTE:  Check the oil level before each use and after every five 

hours of operation to be sure the correct oil level is maintained. 

Refer to Checking Oil Level in the Assembly & Set-Up Section.
