Check Engine Oil
Procedure (Fig. 2)
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; howev-
er, level of oil must be checked before and after the en-
gine is first started.
1. Park machine on a level surface, stop engine, en-
gage parking brake, and remove key from the ignition
switch.
2. Remove dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Insert
dipstick into tube and make sure it is seated fully. Re-
move dipstick and check level of oil.
3. If oil level is low, remove filler cap from valve cover.
Pour oil with proper type and viscosity into the opening
until the oil level is up to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick.
Add oil slowly, and check the level often during this pro-
cess. Do not overfill.
4. Install dipstick firmly in place.
