LUBRICATION

Checking the Oil Level

The importance of checking and maintaining the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized.

Check oil before each use as follows:

1.Make sure the engine is stopped. level, and cool so the oil has had time to drain into the oil pan.

2.To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean the area around the dipstick before removing it.

3.Unthread and remove the dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest the cap on the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the tube.

4.Pull the dipstick out and check the oil level. The oil level should be up to, but not over, the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.

5.If the level is low, add oil of the proper type, up to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Refer to Oil Type, page 55. Always check the level with the dipstick before adding more oil.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

To prevent extensive engine wear or damage, always maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase. Never operate the engine with the oil level below the “ADD” mark or over the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.
