Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase;
however, the oil level must be checked before and
after the engine is first started.
Important:
Check the engine oil daily. If the
engine-oil level is above the Full mark on the
dipstick, the engine oil may be diluted with fuel;
If the engine oil level is above the Full mark,
change the engine oil.
The best time to check the engine oil is when the
engine is cool before it has been started for the day.
If it has already been run, allow the oil to drain back
down to the sump for at least 10 minutes before
checking. If the oil level is at or below the Add mark
on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the Full
mark. Do not overfill the engine with oil.
Important:
Keep the engine oil level between the
upper and lower limits on the dipstick; the engine
may fail if you run it with too much or too little oil.
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Unlock the hood latches and open the hood.
3. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, install the
dipstick into the tube, and pull it out again.
The oil level should be in the safe range
88).

fill cap (Figure 88) and add oil until the level
reaches the Full mark.
Important:
Do not overfill the engine with
oil.
Note:
When using different oil, drain all old oil
from the crankcase before adding new oil.
