Engine Maintenance
CAUTION
DO NOT overfill crankcase with oil. Agitation or
splashing of oil may cause it to become aerat-
ed, which will affect oil pressure and may result
internal engine damage from lack of lubrication. Oil
being splashed by reciprocating engine parts onto
the walls of the cylinder in greater quantity than the
rings can control will subsequently be drawn into
the combustion chamber and burned. Continuous
operation under these conditions can cause carbon
to form on chamber surfaces, which will adversely
affect engine performance and may lead to prema-
ture engine repair.
