CHECK ENGINE OIL

See Figure 11.
Check the engine crankcase oil every 5 hours
of operation. Oil level MUST be maintained in
safe operating range on dipstick at all times
or engine damage will result. See engine
manual for correct oil level.
Park unit on a level surface. Refer to engine
manual for detailed instructions.

CHANGE ENGINE OIL

Change oil per engine manufacturer's
recommendations. Refer to Engine Manual
for detailed instructions.
Run engine just prior to changing oil. Warm
oil will flow more freely and carry away more
contamination. Remove the oil drain plug
from the rear of the unit and tip the unit back
to help drain all the oil.
NOTICE: To drain the oil, use the oil drain
hose supplied with unit, not the drain plug
that is shown in the engine manual.
