engine oil will have a great impact
on the life of the engine. Checking
the oil daily and changing the oil as
listed in the maintenance schedule
is the most important maintenance
procedure there is for the engine.

ground
2. Check engine oil level by remov-
ing and looking at the oil plug/
dipstick (1). Oil should be close to
the top of the serrated portion of the
dipstick.
3. If engine oil is low, add oil until
oil is at the top of the serrated
portion of the dipstick. Use the
correct grade of oil as listed in this
manual. Do not over or under fill
engine with oil, this could damage
the engine.
