Dipstick
STEP 1: Check engine oil level. Oil level should be level to the fill markings
on the dipstick. Be sure the machine is level when checking the oil level.
(Refer to the engine's operating manual included with machine.) We
recommend that the oil be changed after the first 5 hours of use, then once
every 100 hours. NOTE: Improper oil levels will cause low oil sensor to shut
off engine. IMPORTANT! Do not run engine with high or low oil levels
as this will cause engine damage.
