• Insufficient or improper lubrication reduces performance and may cause the machine to break
down, shortening the life of the machine.
Always keep machine filled with the right amount of designated good quality oil.
• Always check remove and add oils on a horizontal surface after stopping the engine.
Check the amount of oil before the engine is started or
at least 5 minutes or more after the engine is stopped.
Immediately after the engine is stopped, oil still remains
in parts of the engine, so oil checks are not accurate.
Do not add oil beyond the upper limit position on the
oil dipstick.
