ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
Place the engine on a level surface.
Start the engine and allow it to warm up for 1 to 2
minutes.
Remove the oil level dipstick (1), and wipe it clean.
Insert the oil level dipstick into the oil level pipe (2).
Remove the oil level dipstick and check oil level shown
on the tip of the level dipstick.
If the oil level is near or below the lower level mark (3)
on the oil level dipstick, remove the oil filler cap (4) from
the head cover and fill with recommended oil to the
upper level mark (5) of the level dipstick.
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service
life. Use 4 - stroke automotive detergent oil.
SAE 10W - 30 or 5W - 30 is recommended for general
use. Use a full synthetic 5W - 30 for starting/operating
temperatures between 15°C and -5°C. Other viscosities
shown in the chart may be used when the average
temperature in your area is within the recommended
range.
Tighten the oil filler cap and install the oil level dipstick
securely.
