ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION

ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
1. Inspect:
• Engine oil level
CAUTION:
Do not run the engine with too much or not
enough oil in the oil tank. Oil could flow into the
air filter and the engine could be damaged.
Inspection steps:
• Place the snowmobile on a level surface and
apply the parking brake.
• Start the engine, warm it up for 10 ~ 15 minutes,
and then turn off.
• Remove the right side cover.
Refer to "COWLINGS" in CHAPTER 3.
• Disconnect the oil level switch coupler 1.
CAUTION:
Disconnect the oil level switch coupler before
removing the oil level gauge. Otherwise the
lead can twist and become severed.
• Remove the oil level gauge/dipstick 2, wipe it
clean, insert it back into the filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it again to
check the oil level.
• The engine oil level should be between the
maximum level mark "H" a and minimum level
mark "L" b.
Below the minimum level mark → Add the rec-
ommended engine oil to the proper level.
CAUTION:
When adding the engine oil, be careful not to fill
above the maximum level mark and minimum
level mark on the oil level gauge.
CAUTION:
Do not allow foreign materials to enter the
crankcase.
NOTE:
Before checking the engine oil level, wait a few
minutes until the oil has settled.
