4.3.1  ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use oil of American Petroleum Institute (API) Service 
Class SG, SH or SJ. Use all season SAE 5W-30 
Synthetic oil. Organic break-in oil is required before 
using synthetic oil.
NOTE:
The unit is supplied with “break-in” oil. See the 
“Break-in Procedure,” Section 3.1, for the first 
required oil change.
 
  Any attempt to crank or start the engine before 
it has been properly serviced with the recom-
mended oil may result in an engine failure.
4.3.2  OIL CHANGE PROCEDURE
To change the oil, proceed as follows:
1.  Run the engine until it is thoroughly warmed up 
then shut OFF the engine.
