Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level position.
1. Remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler neck. Check the oil level shown on the
dipstick.
3. If the oil is low, fill to the edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil.
4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. To avoid the inconvenience of an
unexpected shutdown, always check the engine oil level before startup.
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil, then remove the filler cap / dip-
stick, drain plug, and washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain plug, washer, and tighten drain plug
securely.
3. Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest
you take used oil in a sealed container to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation.
Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or down a drain.
4. With the engine in a level position, fill the outer edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil.
5. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
