Check Oil Level

The importance of checking and maintaining the proper
oil level in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized.
Check oil BEFORE EACH USE as follows:
1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is
cool so the oil has had time to drain into the sump.
2. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean
the area around the dipstick before removing it.
3. Unthread and remove the dipstick; wipe oil off.
Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest the oil
fill cap on the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the
tube. See Figure 5.
