Checking the Engine Oil Level
The best time to check the engine oil is when the engine is
cool before it has been started for the day. If it has already
been run, allow the oil to drain back down to the sump for at
least 10 minutes before checking. If the oil level is at or
below the “L” mark on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil
level to the “H” mark.
Do not overfill.
If the oil level is
between the “H” and “L” marks, no oil addition is required.
1. Place the machine on a flat level surface, and stop the
engine.
2. Allow the engine to cool.
3. Clean around the oil dipstick.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe the end clean.
5. Slide the dipstick fully into the dipstick tube without
threading it into the filler neck.
6. Pull the dipstick out and look at the end. The oil should be
to the top of the upper limit range (Figure 9).

Running the engine with low oil level can cause engine
damage. This type of damage is not covered by warranty.
7. If the oil level is low, slowly pour only enough oil into the
crankcase to raise the level to the upper limit. See
Maintenance section for oil specifications.
Do not overfill the crankcase with oil because the engine
may be damaged.
8. Replace the dipstick.
