Check 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 is cool
so the oil has had time to drain into the sump.
2. Clean the area around the dipstick before
removing it. This will help to keep dirt, grass
clippings, etc., out of the engine.
3. Remove the dipstick; wipe oil o
ff
. Reinsert the
dipstick into the tube until fully seated. See
Figure 6-3.

4. Remove dipstick and check oil level. The
level should be between the
F
and
L
marks.
If low, add oil of the proper type (refer to
Oil
Recommendations
on page 6.1) up to the
F
mark.
Reinstall oil

ll cap and dipstick.
Figure 6-4. Oil Level Marks on Dipstick.
NOTE: To prevent extensive engine wear or damage,
always maintain the oil level in the correct
operating range. Never operate the engine
with the oil level below the
L
mark or above
the
F
mark on the dipstick.
Oil Disposal
Protect and respect the environment. Dispose of oil
at your local recycling center or municipal collection
center in accordance with local ordinances
Changing Oil and Oil Filter
Changing Oil
Change the oil a
ft
er every
100 hours
of operation
(more frequently under severe conditions). Re
fi
ll with
oil as speci
fi
ed in the Recommended Viscosity Grades
Table.
Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil
will
fl
ow more freely and carry away more impurities.
Make sure the engine is level when
fi
lling or checking
oil.
Change the oil as follows:
1. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean
the area around the dipstick; remove the dipstick.
2. Remove the oil drain plug on the starter side or
the drain plug oil
fi
lter side. Allow ample time for
complete drainage. See Figures 6-5 and 6-6.
