CHECK AND CHANGE ENGINE OIL
Before checking or refilling engine oil, be sure the machine is located on a stable level surface and stopped.
When checking oil do not thread the oil gauge (1, Figure 9-1) into oil filler to check oil level. If the oil level is below the lower level
(2, Figure 9-1) line on the dipstick, refill with the proper oil to the upper level (3, Figure 9-1)(to the neck of oil filler).
When changing oil stop the engine, loosen the drain plug (4, Figure 9-1), reintall the drain plug before refilling oil.
Add new oil at the oil gague (1, Figure 9-1) port.
Always use the best grade and clean oil. Contaminated oil, poor quality oil and shortage of oil cause damage to engine or shorten the engine
life.
