CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
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 engine on a flat, level surface with the cutting
head shield hanging off a work bench or table to get a
proper oil level reading (Fig. 31).
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.
5. Look into the oil fill hole, use a flashlight if needed. The oil
should be just touching the inner most thread (Fig. 32).
6. If the oil level is not touching the inner most thread on the
oil fill hole, add a small amount of oil to the oil fill hole and
recheck (Fig. 32). Repeat this procedure until the oil level
reaches the inner most thread on the oil fill hole.
NOTE: Do not overfill the unit.
NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug when
checking and changing the oil (Fig. 33).
