Engine Oil Level --- check daily
IMPORTANT: For most accurate readings, check the
oil level every day before starting the
machine. Be sure the machine is on a
level surface.
1. Remove dipstick (1). Wipe oil off with a clean cloth.
Reinsert dipstick (1).

be between the circle marks.
3. If necessary, add oil via oil filler cap (2).
Be sure to use only recommended oil (see Recom-
mended Engine Oil Chart).
NOTE: Checking the oil level immediately after shut
down will result in inaccurate readings.
Be sure to allow the oil to settle for at least 10
minutes before checking.
