Engine parts and oil are at high temperature immediately after
the engine is stopped, and may cause serious burns. Wait for
the temperature to go down before starting the operation.
1. Open the inspection cover of the right side at the rear of the
machine.
2. Take out the dipstick (G) and wipe off the oil with cloth.
3. Completely insert dipstick (G) fully in the oil filler pipe, then
take it out again.

stick (G).
If the oil level is below the L mark, add oil through oil filler

If the oil is above the H line, open drain valve (P), drain the
excess engine oil, then check the oil level again.

wait for at least 15 minutes after stopping the engine before
