Attention
Avoid Engine Damage!
Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to
serious damage to your engine, if the engine is run
with an incorrect oil level.
• Check the engine oil level with the power unit
sitting on a level surface and with the engine
shut off and the oil cold.
• Keep oil level between the FULL and ADD marks.
• Do not add oil with the engine running.
Park the power unit on a level surface.

3. Remove the key from the ignition switch and
allow the engine and oil to cool.
4. Open the engine hood to access the engine
compartment.
