7. Check the engine oil level.
NOTE:
To avoid incorrect measurement of engine oil
level, check oil level only when the engine has
cooled.
8. Reinstall the oil filler cap.
WARNING
Engine oil can cause injury to people or pets.
Repeated, prolonged contact with used
engine oil may cause skin cancer. Even brief
contact with used oil may irritate skin.
• Keep new and used oil away from children
and pets.
• Wear a long-sleeve shirt and waterproof
gloves when handling oil.
• Wash with soap if oil contacts your skin.
• Launder any clothing or rags that are wet
with oil.

Recycle or properly dispose of used engine oil.
Do not throw it in the trash, or pour it on the
ground, down a drain, or into the water.

GEAR OIL
To check the gear oil level, remove the upper oil
level plug and look into the hole. The oil level
should be at the bottom edge of the hole. If the
oil level is low, add the specified gear oil until
the level reaches the bottom edge of the hole.
Then, reinstall and tighten the plug.
To change the gear oil:
1. Make sure the motor is in an upright posi-
tion. Place a drain pan under the lower cas-
ing.
2. Remove the gear oil drain plug 1, then
remove the gear oil level plug 2.
3. After the oil has drained completely, inject
the specified gear oil into the lower drain
hole until it just starts to come out of the
upper level hole. Approximately 1050 ml
(35.5/37.0 US/lmp oz.) of oil will be required.
4. Reinstall and tighten the gear oil level plug
2, then quickly reinstall and tighten the gear
oil drain plug 1.
NOTE:
To avoid insufficient injection of gear oil, check
the gear oil level 10 minutes after doing the pro-
cedure in the step 4. If the oil level is low, slowly
inject the gear oil up to the correct level.
