1. Checking the engine oil level
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Always stop the engine and remove the key
before checking the oil.
1. Check the engine oil before starting and 5 minutes
or more after the engine has stopped.
2. Wipe the dipstick area clean.
3. To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it
clean, replace it but do not tighten (Ref to Kawasaki
manual), and draw it out again. Check to see that
the oil level is between the 2 notches.
4. Add new oil to the prescribed level at the oil port if
necessary.
(1) Engine oil port
(2) Oil level dipstick (A) “UPPER LEVEL”
(B) “LOWER LEVEL”
IMPORTANT :
• When using a different brand or viscosity oil
from the previous one, remove all of the old
oil and the oil filter. Never mix 2 different
types of oil.
• Use the proper SAE engine oil according to
the ambient temperature.
(See LUBRICANTS AND FUEL on page 42.)
2. Checking the amount of fuel and
refueling
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Handle the fuel carefully. If the engine is
running, do not fill the fuel tank. If the engine is
hot, let the engine cool down several minutes
before adding fuel.
• Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank or
servicing the fuel system. Fill the fuel tank only
to the bottom of the filler neck. Do not fill until
completely full. The empty space in the tank
allows gasoline to expand when it heats up.
• Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel
when the fuel tank is hot.
