No Parts Required
Procedure

1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick (Figure 6) and pour about 3/4 of
the crankcase capacity of oil into the oil-fill tube.
Note: Max. fill: 20 oz. (0.59 l), type: SAE 30 or SAE
10W-30 detergent oil with an API service classification
of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.
1. The oil level is at its
maximum.
2. The oil level is too
high—remove oil from
the crankcase.
3. Wipe off the dipstick end with a clean cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick into the oil-fill tube, but do not
screw it in.
5. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level on the
dipstick (Figure 6).

If the oil level is too low, add a small amount of
oil slowly to the oil-fill tube, and then repeat steps
3 through 5 until the oil level on the dipstick is
correct.
•
If the oil level is too high, drain the excess
oil until the oil level on the dipstick is
