Periodic Maintenance

Check Engine Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily

1.Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Make sure unit is on a level surface.

2.Check with engine cold.

3.Raise radiator to gain access to dipstick.

CAUTION

If the radiator prop rod is not securely positioned in the notch the radiator may fall. Falling radiator could cause serious injury.

Be sure the prop rod is engaged securely in the notch at the far right side of the slot.
