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 unit on a flat, level surface to get a proper
oil level reading.
3. Keep dirt, grass clippings and other debris out of the
engine. Clean the area around the oil fill plug/dipstick
before removing it.
4. Remove the oil fill plug/dipstick and wipe off oil.
Reinsert it all the way back in.
5. Remove the oil fill plug/dipstick and check the oil level.
Oil should be up to the top of the dipstick. See Figure 26.
6. If the level is low, add a small amount of oil to the oil
fill hole and recheck. Repeat this procedure until the
oil level reaches the top of the dipstick.
NOTE: Do not overfill the unit.
