We recommend checking it before starting the engine. After stopping a warm
engine, wait at least 5 minutes before checking.
• Park the machine on level ground
• Stop the engine
• Raise the lock lever
• Remove the starting key
• Let the engine cool down
• Open the engine cover

• Pull out oil dipstick A
☞Wipe it with a lint-free cloth
☞Push it back in as far as possible
☞Withdraw it and read off the oil level

Notice!
The oil level must be between the MAX and MIN marks. However if necessary,
add oil at the latest when the oil reaches the MIN mark on the oil dipstick A.
