Check the level of the fluid in the fluid reservoir. Wipe away all dirt and debris from around reservoir cap before removing. Oil must remain absolutely clean! Check with machine on a level surface with engine "OFF". Fill reservoir as needed to bring level up. The reservoir is properly filled when the fluid level is 1½" below the top of the filler neck. DO NOT OVER FILL. Use clean, fresh premium automotive oil having a vis- cosity equivalent to SAE 20W50 API SL. The fluid should be chemically stable, incorporating rust and oxidation inhibitors. Make sure funnels, pouring spouts and oil can are completely clean. Reinstall reservoir cap. See Figure 4.6.
