Check
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to
contact the skin.
NOTICE
Perform this maintenance with the engine stopped.
Note:
After the engine has been switched OFF, wait
for 10 minutes to allow the engine oil to drain to the
oil pan. Then check the oil level.
NOTICE
Operating your engine when the oil level is above the
“
Max
”
mark could cause your crankshaft to dip into
the oil. The air bubbles created from the crankshaft
dipping into the oil reduces the oils lubricating char-
acteristics and could result in the loss of power.
