Observe Engine Operation Closely
IMPORTANT:
Become thoroughly familiar with the sound and feel of your new machine.
The engine is filled with SAE 10W30 factory fill oil. If necessary to add oil, use seasonal viscosity oil. (See Fuels and Lubricants chapter.)
The factory uses a yellow fluorescent dye additive in the oil to aid engine test technicians in detecting possible oil leaks. This dye causes the engine oil to have a slightly green or yellow appearance under some lighting conditions. The dye color does not indicate a problem. The green or yellow appearance will disappear after 20-30 hours of engine operation.
If air temperatures are above 10°C (50°F), engine oil should be replaced with seasonal viscosity oil earlier than 100 hours. Also replace engine oil filter.
