Checking the Crankcase Oil
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
the level of the oil must be checked before and after the
engine is first started.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 2) so dirt cannot fall
into the hole and damage the engine.
3. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end clean.
4. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube, but do not
thread it onto the tube. Pull the dipstick out and look at
the metal end. If the oil level is low, remove the filler
cap from the valve cover (Fig. 2) and pour oil into the
opening until the oil level is up to the “FULL” mark on
the dipstick; refer to Servicing the Engine Oil, page 21,
for the proper oil type and viscosity. Add the oil slowly
and check the level often during this process. Do not
overfill.
