Inspecting the engine compartment
Make sure there is no combustible material near the engine or battery. Also, check to
make sure that the engine and battery are clean. If combustible materials or dust are
found near the engine or battery, remove them.
Check the electrical wiring for such components as the starter and alternator for
looseness
Check the entire engine for fuel leakage, engine oil or coolant. If leakages are found,
repair.
Make sure the following valves, plugs and cocks are open or closed (tightened) properly:
Fuel feed valve: Open
Coolant drain cock (plug): Closed (Tightened)
Oil drain valve: Closed
Checking the engine oil level
- Do not top up the oil if the oil level is not below the low level marker.
Important
Pull out the oil level gauge and wipe it clean using a waste cloth.
Insert the oil level gauge fully into the oil level gauge guide, then pull out the gauge again.
The proper oil level is between the high and low marks on the oil level gauge. If the oil level is low, add engine oil of the specified
type.
Install the oil filler cap after refilling.
Check the oil pan and other area for oil leakage.
