After Stopping Engine
Note: Before you check the engine oil, do not
operate the engine for at least 10 minutes to allow
the engine oil to return to the oil pan.
• Check the crankcase oil level. Maintain the oil
level between the "ADD" mark and the "FULL"
mark on the oil level gauge.
• If necessary, perform minor adjustments. Repair
any leaks and tighten any loose bolts.
• Note the service hour meter reading. Perform the
maintenance that is in the Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval
Schedule".
• Fill the fuel tank to help prevent accumulation of
moisture in the fuel. Do not overfill the fuel tank.
NOTICE
Only use antifreeze/coolant mixtures recommended
in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill
Capacities and Recommendations" topic or in this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid Recom-
mendations" topic. Failure to do so can cause engine
damage.
• Allow the engine to cool. Check the coolant level.
• If freezing temperatures are expected, check the
coolant for proper antifreeze protection. The
cooling system must be protected against freezing
to the lowest expected outside temperature. Add
the proper coolant/water mixture, if necessary.
• Perform all required periodic maintenance on all
driven equipment. This maintenance is outlined in
the instructions from the OEM.
