TIRE INSPECTION

Tire condition should be inspected per the Periodic Service
Schedule (Ref. Fig. 17 on page 12). Inflation pressures
should be checked when the tires are cool. Be sure to install
the valve dust cap after checking or inflating.

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may
cause engine to smoke or spark plug
fouling.
When adding oil between oil changes, do not
mix brands and viscosity grades of oil. Both the
oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before operating the
engine. Failure to install the dipstick and fill cap will result in oil
becoming contaminated and/or oil being discharged into the
engine compartment.
The oil should be checked with the engine warm. The
vehicle must be on a level surface with the park brake
engaged. Allow adequate time for oil to drain into the
crankcase before checking.
Remove the dipstick and wipe off the entire area indicated
with a lint free cloth (Ref. Fig. 18 on page 14).

For maximum performance and longevity, the engine oil
should be replaced every 125 hours of operation or semi-
annually, whichever comes first.
The selection of oil is dependent upon the service that the
vehicle will perform. Most vehicles require 10W-30 oil,
whereas vehicles used at capacity or near capacity load
applications will require 10W-40 oil after run-in (Ref. Fig. 20
on page 15).
