Engine
* Always stop engine before performing maintenance.
* Perform maintenance after engine has cooled to reduce risk of burns from high
engine temperatures.
Inspecting, Adding, and Replacing Engine Oil
* Carefully add engine oil to reduce risk of causing engine failure.
* Allow oil to cool before inspecting, adding or replacing to reduce risk of burns.
* Properly dispose of waste oil after removing from engine.
1. Park the machine on level ground.
2. Open the engine cover.
3. Pull out the oil filler cap (with oil level gage).
Inspection
NOTE
5310M-0601-040-E
* Check the amount of oil before the engine is
started or at least 10 minutes or more after
the engine has stopped. Immediately after
the engine is stopped, oil still remains in parts
of the engine, so oil checks are not accurate.
