Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smok-
ing or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
Fig. 31 Add Engine Oil
The oil dipstick and cap must be in place before operating the
engine. Failure to install the dipstick and cap will result in oil
being discharged into the engine compartment.
As a final check, check the oil level again with the vehicle
on level ground. Like all liquids, oil increases in volume
when warm. The full 'H' mark on the dipstick is calibrated
for an engine at operating temperature. When the engine
is cold, the oil will be below the full mark. The engine can
be operated safely as long as the oil is within the safe
operating range as indicated on the dipstick. DO NOT
operate the vehicle if the oil level is below the safe
area indicated on the dipstick.

MENT
