B. Checking Oil Level
To avoid engine damage, it is important to:
• Check oil level before each use and every 5
operating hours.
• Keep oil level between “FULL” and “ADD” marks on
dipstick or to point of overflow on engines without
dipstick. See Figure 10.
• Be sure oil fill dipstick/plug is tightened securely.
NOTES
Do not overfill engine with oil. Doing so may result in
equipment malfunction or damage.
Do not allow oil level to fall below the “ADD” mark on
dipstick. Doing so may result in equipment malfunction or
damage.
