It just sits on top. You don't screw it in.

Correct. Add appropriate amount of oil and let it run a minute or 2. Then, let it sit a couple of minutes and check for proper oil level.

Thanks Guys,Now is that drain plug the one below the front sprocket? If it is man that seems like an awkward place for a drain plug. I'm used to the ol' Warrior where the drain plug was on the bottom of the motor.
