Oil Dipstick
The dipstick for the crankcase oil reservoir is located
on the front of the engine. Refill the engine oil in the
hole where the dipstick fits.
When checking the oil level, the dipstick should not
be screwed in. The machine should be parked on
even ground with the engine stopped. Never run the
engine without the dipstick in place. The engine has
an electronic oil level guard. It stops and cannot be
started if the level becomes too low. Yet you should
not rely entirely on the level guard; rather you should
check the oil using the dipstick.
For normal use, SAE 10W-30 weight engine oil service
SF-SG is recommended; see also Lubrication.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil is a health hazard and
legislation prohibits disposal on the ground
or in nature; it should always be disposed
of at a workshop or appropriate disposal
location. Avoid skin contact; wash with soap
and water in case of spills.
