Checking the Oil Level
The importance of checking and maintaining
the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot
be overemphasized.
Check oil before each use as follows:
1. Make sure the engine is stopped. level,
and cool so the oil has had time to drain
into the oil pan.
2. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the
engine, clean the area around the
dipstick before removing it.
3. Unthread and remove the dipstick; wipe
oil off. Reinsert the dipstick into the tube
and rest the cap on the tube. Do not
thread the cap onto the tube.
4. Pull the dipstick out and check the oil
level. The oil level should be up to, but
not over, the “FULL” mark on the
dipstick.
5. If the level is low, add oil of the proper
type, up to the “FULL” mark on the
dipstick. Refer to
Oil Type
, page 55.
Always check the level with the dipstick
before adding more oil.
