CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
CAUTION:
damage to the unit, always maintain the proper oil
level in the crankcase. Never operate the unit with
the oil level below the bottom of the dipstick.
The importance of checking and maintaining the proper oil level
in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized. Check oil before
each use:
1. Stop the engine and allow oil to drain into the crankcase.
2. Place the unit on a flat, level surface to get a proper oil level
reading (Fig. 2).
3. Keep dirt, grass clippings and other debris out of the engine.
Clean the area around the dipstick before removing it.
4. Remove the oil fill
plug/dipstick and
wipe off oil. Reinsert it
all the way back in.
5. Remove the oil fill
plug/ dipstick and
check the oil level. Oil
should be up to the
top of the dipstick (Fig.
23).
6. If the level is low, add
a small amount of oil
to the oil fill hole and
recheck (Fig. 24).
Repeat this procedure
until the oil level
reaches the top of the
dipstick.
NOTE: Do not overfill the
unit.
NOTE: Make sure the O-
ring is in place on the
oil fill plug/dipstick
when checking and
changing the oil (Fig. 24).
