Starter Generator Belt Tension - Cushman SHUTTLE 2+2 G Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
Oil capacity is 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters). Add slightly less than 1
1/3 quarts (1.3 liters) to allow for possible residual oil left in
B
engine. The oil must be high quality oil that meets or exceeds
API SF, SG, CC standards. Check oil level on dipstick. Oil
should be slightly below 'H' to allow for expansion. If neces-
sary, continue to add oil slowly and allow time for oil to flow
down into engine. Check oil level on dipstick. Do not overfill.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smoking
or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before
operating the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and fill
cap will result in oil being discharged into the engine com-
partment
As a final check, check the oil level again with the vehicle on level ground. Like all liquids, oil increases in volume when
warm. The full 'H' mark on the dipstick is calibrated for an engine at operating temperature. When the engine is cold, the
oil will be below the full mark. The engine can be operated safely as long as the oil is within the safe operating range as
indicated on the dipstick. Do not operate vehicle if oil level is below the safe area indicated on the dipstick.
