Step 1 - Check the Oil

Check the oil

The engine is equipped with an automatic shuto to protect

it from damage due to low oil. Nonetheless, you should check

the oil level of the engine before each use to ensure that the

engine crankcase has a sucient amount.

To check the oil level:

a. Make sure the engine is on a level surface.

b. Unscrew the oil ller/dipstick cap.

c. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil o of the stick on the

inside of the cap.

d. Insert the dipstick as if you were replacing the

cap and then remove it again. There should now be

oil on the stick. If there is no oil on the stick, or oil

only at the very end of the stick, you should add

oil until the engine crankcase is lled (see “Adding

Oil” portion of the “Maintenance” section).

e. Be sure to replace the cap when nished checking

oil.
