Engine Oil Check

1.To check the engine oil level, place the mixer on secure level ground with the engine stopped.

2.Remove the filler dipstick from the engine oil filler hole (Figure 15) and wipe clean.

Fuel Check

Motor fuels are highly flammable and can be dangerous if mishandled. DO NOT smoke while refueling. DO NOT attempt to refuel the mixer if the engine is hot! or running.

1.Remove the gasoline cap located on top of fuel tank.

2.Visuallyinspecttoseeiffuellevelislow. Iffuelislow,replenish with unleaded fuel.

3.When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for filtration. DO NOT top-off fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
