unsuitable oil or neglecting an oil change may result in
damage and a shorter engine life. Figure 3-1 shows the

3.4.2 Oil Check
Check the oil level in the crankcase daily or before each
startup to ensure that the level is in the safe range. To
check the oil level, remove the dipstick and wipe the end
clean, reinsert as far as possible, and remove. Maintain
the oil level between the Min and Max marks on the
dipstick, as shown in F igure 3-2. See Section 1 for
dipstick location.
