Oil – Check (Level)
WARNING! Never check the oil
level or add oil with the engine
running. Be careful of hot
lubricating oil. Danger of scalding.
NOTE:
Do not exceed the correct level of engine
oil in the sump. If there is too much engine oil, the
excess must be drained to the correct level. An
excess of engine oil could cause the engine speed
to increase rapidly without control.
Engine oil and oil filter change must be completed
in accordance with the service schedules. Failure
to change the oil and filter at the recommended
interval could cause serious engine failure.

low reading may be recorded which can
cause the engine to be overfilled.
