2. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
a. Pull out the engine oil level gauge (dipstick), 1,
which is located on the right-side wall of the engine.
b. Wipe the end of the dipstick with dry cloth.
c. Then insert it into the engine properly.
d. Pull it out again. The oil level should be between the
upper, A, and lower, B, limits.
e. If the level is lower than the lower limit, replenish
through the engine oil filler, 2, to the upper limit with
the same kind of oil as that in the engine.
CAUTION: Stop the engine and wait at least
5 minutes before checking the oil level.
Engine oil is so hot just after operation as
to cause burns and it takes some time as
well for all the oil to return to the oil pan.
IMPORTANT:
・Never replenish with a different kind of oil. The
addition of different kind of oil will deteriorate the
quality of the original oil.
・The oil level should not exceed the upper limit.
Excessive oil will cause engine trouble.
・Use oil of the quality recommended by ISEKI or 10W-
30 CC grade of SAE classification or higher quality.
・Use oil of proper viscosity in accordance with the
atmospheric temperature.
