Check Engine Oil Level

--- every 10 hours (machine parked on a level
surface before starting the engine)
IMPORTANT: Incorrect engine oil level may cause engine
trouble (The oil level should be between the upper
and lower marks on oil level gauge (1)).
If engine oil level is too high, lower the oil level to the
proper place before starting the engine.
Check oil level before starting the engine. If the engine has
been running, stop the engine and wait at least 30 minutes
before checking the oil level.
Pull out oil level gauge (1). Check for mixing of foreign matter
or contamination in the oil. Wipe oil level gauge (1) with cloth,
re-insert it into the pipe to the end, and then pull it out again.
The oil level should be between the [HIGH] and [LOW] marks
on oil level gauge (1).
If oil level is below the [LOW] mark, add the recommended
engine oil via oil filler (2).
If oil level exceeds the [HIGH] mark, loosen drain plug (3) to
drain excess oil.

NOTE: Level the machine when adding oil or inspecting
oil level. When required to check oil level after operating
the machine, first stop the engine. Wait for more than 30
minutes. Then check oil level. (This means that the oil will
return to the oil pan, then oil level can be checked.) In case
the oil color changes, severe contamination, and/or mixing
of foreign matter may be seen, change the oil.

CAUTION: Do not spill oil while changing oil. Spilled
fuel, oil, and other flammables may cause fires.
