proper quantity before starting the engine.
Check oil level before starting the engine. Pull out oil level

in the oil. Wipe oil level gauge (1) with cloth, re-insert it into
the pipe to the end, and then pull it out again. The oil level
should be between the upper and lower marks on oil level
gauge (1).
If oil level is below the lower limit mark, add the recommended

of foreign matter may be seen, change the oil.
