2. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
a. Draw out the engine oil level gauge (dipstick),1, which
is located on the right sidewall of the engine by open-
ing the window plate.
b. Wipe the end of the dipstick with dry cloth.
c. Then insert it into the engine properly.
d. Draw it again. Make sure that the oil level is between
the upper and lower 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 around 5
minutes at least 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.
