Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
Note:
The machine is shipped with oil in the
crankcase; however, check the oil before and after
you start the engine.
Note:
The best time to check the engine oil is when
the engine is cool before it has been started for the
day. If you have already run the engine, allow the oil
to drain back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes
before checking. If the oil level is low, add oil to bring
the oil level to the Full mark. Do not overfill.
