5.9.4 Engine Oil Level Check
Check engine oil level daily.
Check with the machine parked on level ground and the engine
stopped.
IMPORTANT! Running the engine with a low oil level can
cause engine damage that is not covered by warranty.
1. Remove the oil level dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Fully insert the oil level dipstick, then remove it to check the
oil level.
The proper level is when the oil is visible at the
full (upper) mark on the dipstick.

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use.
4. Reinstall the oil level dipstick.

1. Clean the area around fuel tank cap. Fill the tank to 1/2”
(12 mm) below bottom of filler neck to provide space for
any fuel expansion. Do not overfill.
2. Install fuel fill cap securely and wipe up any spilled fuel.
Engine Air Cleaner
A dirty air filter can restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance. If the engine is operated in very dusty
areas, clean the air filter more often than specified
.
IMPORTANT! Operating the engine without an air filter, or
with a damaged air filter, can allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not
covered by Warranty.
