[2] CHECKING/REFILLING OIL LEVEL IN ENGINE OIL PAN
Parts and oil are at high temperature immediately after the engine is stopped, and may cause
serious burns. Wait for the oil temperature to go down before performing this operation.
• See “Maintenance 7.1 Use of Lubricating Oil According to Temperature” for which oil to be
used. Using oil, other than those specified may shorten the life of the engine. Be sure to refill
with the specified oil.
• Keep the engine oil at the appropriate level.
The oil level being too high will result in too much oil consumption and this tends to increase
the oil temperature, deteriorating the oil faster. The oil level being too low may burn out the
engine.
• Be careful not to let any foreign substance go into the filler opening when refilling with the oil.
1. Stop the machine at leveled location.
2. Open engine hood.
3. Remove the dipstick (G) and wipe the oil off with a cloth.
4. Fully insert the dipstick (G) into the gauge guide, and then
remove it.
5. If the oil level is between the H and L marks on the dipstick (G),
the oil level is normal.
6. If the oil level is lower than the L mark, remove the filler cap (F)
and refill with the engine oil from the filler opening.
7. After refilling with the oil, securely install the dipstick (G) and the
filler cap (F).
If the oil level is above the H mark, remove undercover (1), drain
the excess engine oil from drain valve (P), and then check the oil
level again.
