MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS
REMARK
•
When checking the oil level after the engine has been operated, wait for at least 15 minutes after stopping
the engine before checking.
If the machine is inclining, make it level before checking.
•
When the ambient temperature is low, water or emulsified matter may stick to the dipstick, fuel filler cap,
etc. or the drained oil may be milky white because of water vapor in the blowby gas. However, if the coolant
level is normal, it is not a problem.
1.
Open the engine hood.
2.
Pull out dipstick (G) and wipe the oil off with a cloth.
3.
Fully insert dipstick (G) into the dipstick pipe, then remove
it.
4.
Check if the oil is sticking up to between marks H and L on
dipstick (G).
It is appropriate if the oil level is between marks H and L.
If the oil level is below the L mark, add oil through oil filler
port (F).
5.
If the oil level is higher than H, decrease it to a proper level
according to the following procedure.
1)
Remove cover (1).
2)
Take out hose (2) from the toolbox and install it.
3)
Drain excessive engine oil through drain valve (P) at
the bottom of the engine oil pan.
When draining the engine oil, put a container to re-
ceive the oil under the drain plug.
6.
Check the oil level again.
7.
If the oil is at the correct level, tighten the oil filler cap se-
curely and close the engine hood.
