3-4 rotations counterclockwise;
then remove the stick from the
crankcase and wipe it clean. Insert
the stick into the crankcase.
3. Remove the stick and make sure
the oil is visible on the stick (above
the lower oil level mark).
NOTE: If the oil level is at or
below the lower oil level mark,
add recommended oil until it
reaches the upper oil level mark.
4. Insert the oil level stick into the
crankcase; then rotate the stick
clockwise until snug.
5. Close and secure the hood.

lowing procedure:
