PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION

I. ENGINE OIL
CAUTION
• Engine oil is a key factor in deciding the engine's performance. Do not apply engine oil
with additives or 2–stroke gasoline engine oil, as they haven't enough lubrication, which
may shorten the engine's service life.
• Check the engine with it stopped on a level ground.
SAE15W-40 (Fig. 5) is recommended for general, all
temperature use.
As viscosity varies with regions and temperatures, so
the lubricant has to be selected in accordance with our
recommendation.
Check (Fig. 6).
1. Ensure that the engine is stopped on a level ground.
2. Remove the dipstick and clean it.
3. Reinsert the dipstick into the oil fi ller without
screwing in, and check oil level.
4. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended
engine oil to the oil fi ller nick.
5. Reinstall the dipstick.
CAUTION
Run with insuffi cient engine oil may
damage the engine severely.
II. OIL IN THE REDUCTION GEAR

clutch.
