Check Oil Level
The importance of checking and maintaining
the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be
overemphasized. Check oil BEFORE EACH USE as
follows:
1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is cool
so the oil has had time to drain into the sump.
2. Clean the area around and beneath the oil ll cap/
dipstick before removing it. This will help keep
dirt, debris, and other foreign maer out of the
engine. See Figure 3.
