Do NOT overfill engine. Too much
oil may cause smoking or allow oil
to enter the air filter enclosure.
NOTICE: Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in
place before operating the engine. Failure to install
the dipstick and fill cap will result in oil being dis-
charged into the engine compartment.
As a final check, check the oil level again with the vehicle
on level ground. Like all liquids, oil increases in volume
when warm. The full ‘H’ mark on the dipstick is calibrated
for an engine at operating temperature. When the engine
is cold, the oil will be below the ’H’ mark. The engine can
be operated safely as long as the oil is within the safe
operating range as indicated on the dipstick.
Do NOT
operate vehicle if oil level is below the safe area indi-
cated on the dipstick.

clean the air filter. Doing so will
damage the filter and will damage
the engine.
If the element is in acceptable condition, loose dirt may
be removed by tapping the filter lightly
.
Do NOT use oil on
the filter element or any part of the unit. Install the ele-
ment in the same way it was removed, being sure that the
cover clips are fastened securely.

The starter/generator belt tension should be checked
after the first 15 - 20 hours and set to 17 - 18 lbs. (75 - 80
N).
At no time during installation of
belt, should the belt tension exceed
36 lbs (160 N).
At the time of installation, the belt
must not be rolled over the installed
edges of the starter/generator or
drive clutch pulleys. Excessive stretch in belt may
cause cord failure.
NOTICE: A loose belt can cause audible vibration
and squeal.
Tighten a
new
starter/generator belt to 25 - 29 lbs. (110 -
130 N) tension when a gauge is applied half way between
the two pulleys (Ref. Fig. 9).
