Checking the Engine Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The engine crankcase can hold 0.55 liters (20 ounces) of
oil. Use only high-quality SAE 10W-30 weight detergent oil
that has the American Petroleum Institute (API) service
classification SH, SJ, Sl or higher.

Note: When the crankcase is empty, pour about 3/4 of the
crankcase capacity of oil in the crankcase, then follow the
procedure in this section.
1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Clean around the dipstick (Figure 10).
3. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap
counterclockwise and pulling it out.
4. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth.
5. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck, but do not
rotate the cap clockwise to secure it, then remove it.
6. Read the oil level on the dipstick.
7. If the oil level reading is below the lower limit mark on
the dipstick, remove the dipstick and slowly pour only
enough oil into the filler hole to raise the oil level to
the upper limit mark on the dipstick.
Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
and run the engine; engine damage will result.
Drain the excess oil until the oil level reaches the
upper limit mark on the dipstick.
8. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and rotate the cap
clockwise until it is tight.
