1. Move the machine to a level surface.
2. Clean around the dipstick (Figure 9).
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.
