Engine Oil Level - Check
1. Raise the hood and seat assembly.

Hot oil and components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to
contact skin.
Excessive refill volume of engine oil can cause
dieseling phenomenon resulting in severe
engine, damage. Keep appropriate engine oil
level.
Typical Example

upper point of the oil dip stick. Do not refill more
than upper point.
Coolant Level - Check
WARNING
At operating temperature, the engine coolant is
hot and under pressure.
Steam can cause personal injury.
Check the coolant level only after the engine has
been stopped and the filter cap is cool enough
to touch with your bare hand.
Remove the filter cap slowly to relieve pressure.
Cooling system conditioner contains alkali.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes to prevent
personal injury.
Typical Example
1. Observe the coolant level with engine cold.
Maintain coolant level to the proper line on
expansion bottle. If the expansion bottle has no
coolant, it will be necessary to check coolant at
the radiator filter neck.
2. Remove the radiator cap. Fill radiator to the top
of the filter neck. Inspect radiator cap. Replace if
damaged. Install the radiator cap.
