ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Checking Engine Oil
WARNING
Before lubricating, repairing, or inspecting, disengage all controls and
stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
Remove the key to prevent unintended firing of the engine.
NOTE : Check the oil level before each use to be sure correct oil level
is maintained.
When adding oil to the engine, refer to viscosity chart below. Engine oil
capacity is approximately 37 ounces. Do not over-fill. Use a 4-stroke,
or an equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil certified
to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for
service classification SG, SF. Motor oils classified SG, SF will show
this designation on the container.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Insert the cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do
not
screw it in.
NOTE: On some engines, a threaded screw cap will be present
instead of the quarter turn locking cap. In the instance of a threaded oil
cap/dipstick, DO NOT screw the cap/dipstick in to check. Check the oil
by resting the cap/dipstick on the threads, but not screwing it in.
3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. If level is low, slowly add oil until
oil level registers between high (H) and low (L). See Figure 18.
4. Replace and tighten cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine.
