CHECKING THE OIL

See Figures 4 - 5.
Always check the oil when the unit is sitting on a level surface
and before first use.
 Insert the dipstick into the oil fill hole completely. Remove
the dipstick and check the oil level.
 Make sure the reading is between the MIN and MAX
reference levels on the dipstick.
NOTE: Never let the oil drop to a level lower than MIN.
Maximum level is reached when the oil reaches the MAX
level reference on the dipstick.
 Reinsert the dipstick securely into the oil fill hole.
To add oil:
 Remove the dipstick.
 Using a funnel, carefully pour oil into the oil fill hole. Refill
only with synthetic oil SAE 5W50.
NOTE: Avoid using too much oil. Ensure that the level of
the oil does not exceed the maximum reference level on
the dipstick.
 Reinsert the dipstick securely into the oil fill hole.
