Checking Oil Level on Engines with Quarter-Turn
Oil Fill Caps
NOTE: Be sure to check the engine 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. 10.
• Be sure oil fill cap/plug is tightened securely when
checking.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean. See
Fig. 10.
2. Insert the cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, and tighten the cap
until seated.
3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. If the level is low, slowly add oil
until oil level registers between high (H) and low (L), Fig. 10.
4. Replace and tighten cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause smoking, hard
starting, or spark plug fouling.
NOTE: DO NOT allow oil level to fall below the "L" mark on the
dipstick. Doing so may result in equipment malfunctions or damage.
NOTE: To change the oil on your engine, see the Maintenance Sec-
tion of the engine operator's manual included with the snow thrower.
