ENGINE OIL LEVEL
To check the oil level:
1.
Set machine on a level surface.
2. Start and run engine for 20-30 seconds. This will return
oil to its true level in the engine sump..
3. Stop engine, remove dipstick and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
4. Reinstall dipstick, screwing into place.
NOTE: The dipstick must be screwed completely in to en-
sure accurate measurement.
5. Remove dipstick and check to see that the oil level is in
the normal range. Add oil as indicated by the level on
the dipstick. Do not overfill.
NOTE: Rising oil level between checks in cool weather
driving, can indicate moisture collecting in the oil reservoir.
If the oil level is over the full mark, change the oil.
