Preparing to Service the Engine Oil
Important:
The fasteners for the front engine panel are
designed to remain on the machine after cover removal.
Loosen all of the fasteners a few turns so that the panel
is loose but still attached, then go back and loosen them
until the panel comes free. This prevents you from
accidentally stripping the bolts free of the retainers.
Tilt the seat forward, loosen the bolts holding the front
engine panel and remove it (
Figure 55 ).

4. Start the engine, run it at idle for 5 minutes, shut off
the engine, wait for 3 minutes, and then check the
engine-oil level. If needed, add oil up to the F

mark
on the dipstick.
Important:
Be sure to keep the engine-oil level
between the upper and lower limits on the oil
gauge. Engine failure may occur as a result.
Important:
Add the oil very slowly and do not
block the opening of the filler hole (Figure 40). If
