CHECK THE ENGINE OIL DAILY
1. Park the machine on a level surface. Release the engine
cover latches (Fig. 1).
2. Open the engine cover and hold it upright
3. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinstall it into the fill
tube and pull it out again; the oil level should be up to the
FULL mark (Fig. 2).
4. If the oil is below the FULL mark, remove the fill cap (Fig.
3) and add SAE 10W-30 oil until the level reaches the
FULL mark. DO NOT OVERFILL. Crankcase capacity is
6.9 qt. (6.5 l) with the filter.
5. Install the oil fill cap and dipstick.
6. Close the engine cover and secure it with the latches.
CHECK THE COOLING SYSTEM DAILY
Capacity of the system is 3.7 gal. (14 l).
1. Remove the radiator cap (Fig. 4). The coolant should be
one inch from the bottom of the fill hole.
2. If the coolant is low, add a 50/50 mixture of water and eth-
ylene glycol anti-freeze. DO NOT USE WATER ONLY
OR ALCOHOL/METHANOL BASE COOLANTS.
3. Install the radiator cap.
FILL THE FUEL TANK
1. Remove the fuel tank cap (Fig. 4).
2. Fill the tank to about one inch (25 mm) below the bottom
Before Operating
The best time to check the coolant level is before the
engine is started each day because it is not pressur-
ized. When the engine is hot, pressurized coolant can
escape and cause burns when the radiator cap is
removed. Remove the radiator cap slowly and care-
fully if the engine coolant is hot.
