Checking The Engine Oil - Simpson SSTP71007 Use And Care Manual

A running engine produces heat. The surfaces of the engine, other related
components, and engine exhaust gas get hot enough to cause moderate burns or ignite
materials on contact. To avoid burns, do not touch engine surfaces or exhaust
gases while operating and allow engine to cool completely before moving, touching,
or performing any maintenance. To avoid a fire, keep all flammable materials at least
five feet away from all sides of the product.
This product has many parts that move at high speeds. Moving parts can cause crushing
injuries, broken bones, severe lacerations, and/or traumatic amputations. To prevent
injury, never place fingers, hands, feet, or other body parts near running engine. Never
operate product with covers, shrouds, or other guards removed. Do not wear loose-fitting
clothing, dangling drawstrings, or any other hanging items that could become entangled
in moving parts while operating. Tie up long hair and remove jewelry before operating.

Checking the Engine Oil

Hot oil can cause serious burns. To prevent getting burned when changing or
checking the engine oil, use gloves to prevent oil from contacting skin and change
the oil when the engine is warm from operating but not hot.

the upper limit, and always operate engine on a level surface.
