To check the engine oil, keep the equipment in leveled position, remove the oil level
indicator and wipe so that no oil remains, and then re-insert the dipstick fully. Prior to
starting the engine, make sure to fill the engine oil through the oil filler until it reaches the
MAX line.

Wait approximately five minutes or more after stopping the engine or adding oil before checking
