ENGINE OIL
1. Pull the engine oil dipstick (Figure 9) out of its holder
and wipe it with a clean rag.
Figure 9. Engine Oil Dipstick
2. Fully insert the dipstick then remove it again.
3. Determine if engine oil is low. Oil should be between
the upper and lower marks (Figure 9) on the dipstick.
4. If the oil is below the lower mark on the dipstick, remove
the oil filler cap (Figure 10) and add engine oil up to
the upper mark on the dipstick.

CAUTION
NEVER
overfill the oil pan.
ALWAYS
allow time for
any added oil to make its way to the oil pan before
rechecking the level.
CAUTION
Hot coolant can cause severe burns.
NEVER
remove the cap while the radiator
is
HOT
.
INITIAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENTS
1. Open the back hood to access radiator.
2. Verify that the radiator drain cock is closed.
3. Remove radiator cap.
4. Pour engine coolant (Dexcool or long life coolant only)
slowly into the radiator (Figure 11) until it is even with
the lip of the engine coolant filler port.
Figure 11. Adding Engine Coolant
5. Reinstall radiator cap.
6. Run the machine.
7. Once the engine is cool, remove radiator cap and refill.
PITCH SETUP AND CALIBRATION
1. With the pitch actuators fully retracted, set the yoke
to clear the motor housing by .08 inch (Figure 12). A
14 GA shim should just fit between without binding.

2. Tighten jam nut once the yoke is attached to the
actuator.
3. Calibrate pitch after making any adjustments to rod
end positions.
