CHECK ENGINE OIL
Before checking or refilling engine oil, be
sure the engine is located on a stable, level
surface and stopped.
Do not thread the gauge into oil filler to
check oil level.
If the oil level is below the lower level
line on the dipstick, refill with the proper
oil (see table) up to the upper level (up to
the point of overflowing the filler neck).
OIL CAPACITY EH025 : 80 mL
EH035 : 100 mL
(EH035V) Before filling oil, make sure that
the oil drain screw is secured thoroughly.
Change oil if it is contaminated.
(See page 11 Maintenance Schedule.)
Use class SF (API classification) or
higher grade oil.
If multi-grade oil is employed, oil
consumption tends to increase when
the ambient temperature is high.
Wipe off any spilled oil before starting
the engine.
