Checking the Engine Oil
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase;
however, the level of oil must be checked before you
first start the engine and after you have run it.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag
(Figure 11).
3. Insert the dipstick into the tube and make sure
that it is seated fully. Remove the dipstick and
check the oil level.

opening until the oil level is up to the F
on the dipstick; refer to
(page 47) for the proper oil type and viscosity.
Note:
Add the oil slowly and check the level
often during this process. Do not overfill.
5. Install the dipstick firmly in place.
Checking the Air Pressure in the
Tire
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check
the air pressure in the tires every 8
hours or daily.
Fill the tires with air to 138 kPa (20 psi). Also, check
the tires for wear or damage.
