LUBRICATION
The oil level should be between the markings
on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the
”ADD” mark, add the oil to the ”FULL” mark
on the dipstick.
Never fill above the ”FULL” mark.
The oil is topped off through the dipstick hole.
Use engine oil SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 or,
alternately, 10W/40, class SC–SH
(over 0 °C/+32 °F).
Over +20 °C/+68 °F SAE 40 can be used.
Use engine oil SAE 5W-20, class SC–SH
(under 0 °C/+32 °F).
The engine holds 3.5 quarts of oil including
the filter.

Lubricate the cable ends by the lever with an
oil can. Move the controls to the end points
and lubricate again.
The throttle cable is also lubricated by the
