High pull force

Handle locked in place

Engine must be resting on a flat surface on the fuel tank

This position does not allow

for a proper oil level reading

and may cause overfilling.

Oil Overfill Warning

Do not overfill! Adding too much or

too little oil may cause damage to the

engine and void the warranty.

Overfilling may cause:

1. Hard starting or a locked piston -

caused by excess oil in the

combustion chamber.

2. Poor engine performance and loss

of power

3. Excessive smoke coming from the

muffler and around the engine

while running.

4. Oil leaking form the

carburetor/aircleaner.

5. Oil leaking from the muffler.

Corrective Action

If you suspect the engine is

overfilled the following

procedure should remove the

excess oil from the crankcase and

valve cover.

If the engine is overfilled, oil

will enter the crankcase and it

does not simply pour out of the

oil fill opening. The excessive oil

has to be pumped out as the

engine runs. Checking the oil

level and draining any excess

between multiple 30 second

running intervals will bring the

oil back to the proper level.

1. Place the engine on a level

surface resting flat on the fuel

tank and remove the oil fill

cap/dipstick. Use a catch basin

for any oil that overflows from

the oil fill opening.

2. Replace the oil fill

cap/dipstick and run the

engine for approximately 30

seconds then repeat step one.

Continue steps 1 & 2 until oil

no longer overflows when the

oil fill cap/dipstick is

removed.

3. Once the oil level is corrected

the engine may continue to

smoke while running for

several minutes while the

residual oil burns off.
