3. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
CHECK ENGINE OIL
Before checking or refilling engine oil,
be sure the engine is located on a
stable, level surface and stopped.
• Do not thread the gauge into oil filler
to check oil level.
• If the oil level is below the lower level
line on the dipstick, refill with the
proper oil (see table) to the upper
level.
• Change oil if it is contaminated.
(See page 15 Maintenance Schedule.)
• Use class SE,SF (API classification)
or higher grade oil.
• If multi-grade oil is employed, oil con¬
sumption tends to increase when the
ambient temperature is high. *

near an open flame or other
potential hazards.
