INSPECTION
ENGINE OIL
1. Make sure the trowel is on a secure, level surface with
the engine stopped.
2. Pull the engine oil dipstick (Figure 15) out of its holder
and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Figure 15. Engine Oil Dipstick
3. Fully insert the dipstick then remove it again.
4. Determine if engine oil is low. Oil should be between
the upper and lower marks (Figure 15) on the dipstick.
5. If the oil is below the lower mark on the dipstick, remove
the oil filler cap (Figure 16) and add engine oil up to
the upper mark on the dipstick. Refer to Table 6 for
recommended oil viscosity.

CAUTION
NEVER overfill the oil pan. ALWAYS allow time for
any added oil to make its way to the oil pan before
rechecking the level.
6. When replacing the dipstick, make sure it is fully
inserted into its holder to keep the crankcase sealed.
HYDRAULIC OIL
1. Make sure the trowel is on a secure, level surface with
the engine stopped.
2. Visually inspect the level of hydraulic oil in the hydraulic
oil reservoir (Figure 17). Hydraulic oil should be visible
between the MIN and MAX lines on the reservoir.
