Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Service Interval : Before each use or daily —Check
the engine-oil level. Check the
engine-oil level before the engine is
rst started and daily thereafter .
Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when
the engine is cool before it has been started for the
day . If you have already run the engine, allow the oil
to drain back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes
before checking. If the oil level is at or below the low
mark on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the
high mark. Do not overll. If the oil level is between
the high and low marks, you do not need to add oil.
1. Lower the radiator and check the engine-oil level
as shown in Figure 52 and Figure 56 .
2. If needed, raise the hopper to the fully raised
position, secure it with the magnetic safety
locks, and raise the engine cover after removing
the cover fasteners.
