Checking Oil Levelon Engineswith Quarter-Turn Oil Fill Caps
NOTE: Be sure to check the oil while on a level surface with the
engine stopped.
To avoid engine
damage, it is important
to:
Check oil level before each use and every 5 operating
hours when engine
is warm. Check oil level more
frequently
during
engine
break-in.
Keep oil level between
"H" and "L" marks on dipstick.
See Fig. 3-3.
Be sure oil fill cap/plug
is tightened
securely when
checking.

dipstick.
Doing so may result in equipment
malfunctions
or
damage.
NOTE:To change the oil on your engine, see the Maintenance
Section of this manual.
