Operating the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage that is not covered by the warranty.

dipstick to show the oil level correctly.
Check the engine oil level before each use.
1. Park the machine on level ground.
2. Stop the machine.
For instructions, see Stop the Machine on page 32.
3. Remove the oil-level dipstick and clean it.
4. Fully insert the oil-level dipstick.
5. Remove the oil-level dipstick and check the oil level.
The oil level is correct when the oil is visible on the dipstick
from the end to the full (upper) mark.
6. Do one of the following:
• If the oil level is correct, continue with step 7.
• If the oil level is low, add oil until the oil level is at the
full (upper) mark. For instructions, see Add Oil to the
Engine on page 29.
