GAS AND OIL FILL-UP Oil (one 20-oz. bottle shipped with unit) Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SF, SG, or SH. Select the oil’s SAE viscosity grade according to the expected operating temperature. Follow the chart below. 32°F Warmer Colder 5W30 SAE 30 Oil Viscosity Chart NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.) improve starting in cold weather, they will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil. • Remove oil fill dipstick. • With the Yard Vacuum on level ground, use a funnel to fill engine with oil to FULL mark on dipstick.

Running the engine with too little oil can result in permanent engine damage. Gasoline • Remove fuel cap from the fuel tank. • Make sure the container from...
