[2] CHECKING/REFILLING OIL LEVEL IN ENGINE OIL PAN
Securely install the oil level gauge and filler cap after checking the oil level and refilling with the
oil. If the oil level gauge falls during the operation, the hot oil spouts out of the pan, causing
burns.
CAUTION
• See “Maintenance 5.1 Use of Lubricating Oil According to Temperature” for which oil to be
used. Using other oil 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. See “Operation 1.9 Engine Hood” and open the engine hood.
3. Pull the oil level gauge (G) out and wipe the oil with a disposable
cloth.
4. Insert the oil level gauge (G) into the gauge guide and pull it out.
5. If the oil level is between the “H” mark and “L” mark on the oil
level gauge (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.
NOTES
Refill with the engine oil so that the oil level will be in the middle
of the”H” and “L” marks on the oil level gauge (G).
7. After refilling with the oil, securely install the oil level gauge (G)
and the filler cap (F).
8. See “Operation 1.9 Engine Hood” and close the engine hood.
