Engine Oil Check
The engine crankcase oil should be checked daily or
every 5 hours of operation. Oil level MUST be maintained
in safe operating range on dipstick at all times or engine
damage will result (See Engine Manual).
To check, park unit on a level surface and:
1. Clean all debris away from around oil cap.
2. Remove oil cap and dipstick. Wipe oil off dipstick with
a clean cloth. Replace dipstick until cap bottoms on
tube. Remove dipstick again and observe oil level.
Oil should be at the Full (F) mark.
3. If low, add oil and bring up to the Full (F) mark.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT over fill. Oil Level must not
exceed Full (F) mark.
4. Replace dipstick and cap. Clean up any spilled oil.
Engine Oil Change
Change oil after first 5 hours of operation, thereafter
change oil every 25 hours (more often if required).
NOTE:
Run engine just prior to changing oil. Warm oil
will flow more freely and carry away more contamination.
1. Drain crankcase by removing oil drain plug (see
Engine Manual).
2. When oil has drained replace plug and refill engine
crankcase with new oil of proper grade.
3. Recheck oil level with dipstick.
