ENGINE OIL
Check the engine oil level with the engine oil dipstick.
Place the vehicle on level ground. Start the engine
and allow it to run for a few minutes at idling speed.
Stop the engine and wait about three minutes.
Remove the oil filler plug. The engine oil dipstick
comes out together with the oil filler plug.
Wipe the oil from the dipstick with a clean rag.
Holding the vehicle vertically, reinsert the dipstick
until the threads touch the filler neck, but do not
screw the plug in.
Draw out the dipstick and check the oil level. The level
found on the dipstick should be between “L” (Low)
and “F” (Full) line. If the oil level is below the “L” line,
add fresh oil from the filler hole until the oil level
reaches to “F” line.If the level is above the “F” line,
drain oil to “F” line.Replace the drain plug and engine
oil filler plug tighten it securely.

This vehicle is shipped from factory with the
engine filled with engine oil. Be sure to check
oil level.
NOTE:
Use a premium quality 4-stroke motor oil to
ensure longer service life of the vehicle. Use
only oils which are rated SF or SG under the
API service classification. The recommended
viscosity is SAE 10W-40. If an SAE 10W-40
motor oil is not available, select alternative
according to the left chart. If the vehicle is
used in very cold weather (below –15°C (5°F)),
use SAE 5W-30 for good engine starting and
smooth operation.
