Inspection
1. Park machine on level ground.
Filler cap
2. Open the engine cover.
3. Pull out the oil gauge. Clean the gauge with
clean cloth. Reinsert to measure oil level.
NOTE
* Check the amount of oil before the engine is
started or at least 10 minutes or more after
the engine has stopped. Immediately after
the engine is stopped, oil still remains in parts
of the engine, so oil checks are not accurate.
4. When the oil level is lower than the range
indicated by "A" on the oil level gage, add fresh
specified engine oil.
5. When the oil is dirty or has deteriorated into
lower viscosity, replace it with fresh oil.
6. After adding oil, securely attach the cap of the
oil inlet port.
