CHECKING THE OIL
See Figures 3 - 4, page 17.
Always check the oil when the unit is sitting on a level surface
and before first use.
To check the oil level using the sight glass:
 The sight glass is located below the oil fill hole. There is
a red dot in the center of the glass.
 An oil level at the top of the red dot indicates oil is at
maximum level.
 An oil level at or below the bottom of the red dot indicates
oil is below desired level, and oil should be added.
To check the oil level using the dipstick:
 Insert the dipstick into the oil fill hole completely. Remove
the dipstick and check the oil level.
 Make sure the reading is between the MIN and MAX
reference levels on the dipstick.
NOTE: Never let the oil drop to a level lower than MIN.
Maximum level is reached when the oil reaches the MAX
level reference on the dipstick.
 Reinsert the dipstick securely into the oil fill hole.
To add oil:
 Remove the dipstick.
 Using a funnel, carefully pour oil into the oil fill hole. Refill
only with synthetic oil SAE 5W40.
NOTE: Avoid using too much oil. Ensure that the level of
the oil does not exceed the maximum reference level on
the dipstick.
 Reinsert the dipstick securely into the oil fill hole.
