3. PREPARATIONS BEFORE WORK
3.1 Checking the Engine Oil Level
Checking the engine oil level on a regular basis is recommended even with the machines provided with
the oil-level sensor. With the machines without the sensor, everyday checking is absolutely essential. Use
recommended kinds of oils only. The oil viscosity should correspond to the temperature conditions at the
workplace.
CAUTION: Operating the engine with a low oil level may cause serious damage to the engine. In case of
any oil leakage, stop the engine immediately and call an authorized serviceman or contact the
manufacturer.
Check the oil level every day.
Checking the oil level in HONDA GX engines should be carried out as follows:
Place the machine into a horizontal position.
Clean the plug (1) and unscrew it from the filler (2) on the engine.
At correct oil level, it just reaches the filling hole edge and the oil slowly flows over it. Should the oil
level be below the edge, add oil imediately.
