Servicing the Engine Oil

temperatures)

Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Note:
The engine comes with oil in the crankcase;
however, check the oil level before and after you start
the engine for the first time.
g031861
Use only high-quality engine oil.
Note:
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 A
on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the F
mark. Do not overfill. 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.
