Note: To determine the proper oil level on the
dipstick, refer to
Figure 7.
Figure 7
1. The oil level is at its
maximum.
3. The oil level is too
low—add oil to the
crankcase.
2. The oil level is too
high—remove oil from
the crankcase.
Note: Fill the engine crankcase with oil until the
dipstick indicates that the engine oil level is correct
as shown in Figure 7. If you overll the engine with
oil, remove the excess oil as directed in Changing
the Engine Oil.
Note: You may tip the machine forward (handle
up) a little to make adding oil easier. Remember to
return the machine to the operating position before
checking the oil level.
Important: Do not tip the machine all the way
forward onto its nose, or fuel may leak out of
the machine.

tighten it securely.
