Checking the Engine-Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Engine-oil type: Detergent engine oil API SJ or higher
Engine-oil viscosity: 10W-30; Choose an engine-oil
viscosity according to the ambient-air temperature to the
table in Figure 14.
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however, you
should check the oil level before and after the engine is first
started.
Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when the
engine is cool before it has been started for the day. If it has
already ran, allow the oil to drain back down to the sump
for at least 10 minutes before checking. If the oil level is at

or below the Add mark on the dipstick, add oil to bring the
oil level to the Full mark. Do not overfill the engine with
oil. If the oil level is between the Full and Add marks, no
additional oil is required.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag
(Figure 15).

3. Insert the dipstick into the tube and make sure that it
is seated fully (Figure
4. Remove dipstick and check the level of the oil

5. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap
and add enough oil to raise the level to the Full mark
on the dipstick.
Note: When adding oil, remove dipstick to allow
proper venting. Pour the oil slowly and check the level
often during this process. Do not overfill the engine
with oil.
Important: When adding engine oil or filling
oil, there must be clearance between the oil fill
device and the oil fill hole in the valve cover as
shown in Figure
to permit venting when filling, which prevents oil
from overrunning into the breather.
