Checking the Oil Level
Check the oil level in the engine when the
machine is standing level and the engine is
stopped.
Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and then
replace it.
The dipstick should not be screwed into
place.
Take the dipstick out again and read the oil
level.
The oil level should lie between the markings
on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the
”ADD” mark, fill with oil to the ”FULL” mark on
the dipstick.
Never fill above the ”FULL” mark.
The oil is filled through the hole for the
dipstick.
Use engine oil SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 or,
alternately, 10W/40, class SF–SJ
(over +32 °F / 0 °C).
Over+68°F/+20°CSAE40canbeused.
Use engine oil SAE 5W-20, class SF–SJ
(under +32 °F / 0 °C).
The engine holds 1.6 qt (1.5 liters) of oil
excluding the filter (including filter 1.8 qt,
1.7 liters).
