Engine oil level gauge
See the separate engine manual.
Check the amount of engine oil after the engine is
completely stopped. Pull out the oil level gauge and wipe
off oils by waste clothes. Re-insert the oil level gauge into
the full length of the oil dip pipe and pull it out. Check that
the oil level is between “ FULL ” and “ ADD ”. In case of
shortage, feed oils through the engine oil fill port.
NOTE: When checking the amount of oils after running the engine, please check at least 15
minutes after the engine is stopped. If the machine is inclined, please move it to the
flat ground before start checking it.
WARNING
It may cause scald immediately after that the engine is stopped because the
temperature of the parts and the oils may be raised. Please start checking it by
waiting until the temperature is dropped.
CAUTION
Be sure to use engine oil recommended by SAKAI (refer to page 90).
