SERVICE ENGINE

Checking Engine Oil Level

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Touching hot surfaces can burn skin. The engine, components, and fluids will be hot if the engine has been running. Allow the engine to cool before servicing or working near the engine and components.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine problems if oil level is low:

Check oil level before operating.

Keep oil level between the FULL and the ADD marks.

Check oil level when engine is stopped, level, and is cooled so oil has had time to drain into the sump.

NOTE: Check oil twice a day if you run engine over 4 hours in a day. Make sure engine is cool when checking engine oil level.

1.Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2.Allow engine to cool.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Dirt and debris in oil may cause damage to the engine. Clean area around opening before removing plug or dipstick.

3.Remove dipstick (A). Wipe with a clean cloth.

4.Install dipstick and allow the cap to rest on the end of the tube. Do not tighten the cap.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! To prevent extensive engine wear or damage, always maintain the proper engine oil level. Never operate the engine with the oil level below the add mark or over the full mark.

5.Remove dipstick and check oil level on dipstick. Oil must be between the ADD and FULL marks.

If oil is low, add oil to bring oil level no higher than the FULL mark on dipstick.

If oil level is above the FULL mark, drain to proper level.

6.Install and tighten dipstick.

Changing Engine Oil and Filter
