Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck as shown, but do
not screw it in, then remove it to check the oil level.
3. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick, fill
with the recommended oil (see page 7) to the upper limit mark
(bottom edge of the oil fill hole). Do not overfill.
4. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick.

Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. This type
of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited Warranty.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop the engine
before the oil level falls below the safe limit.
However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown,
always check the engine oil level before startup.

Oil Change
Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and sealing
washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and a new sealing washer, and tighten the oil drain plug
securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with
the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed container
to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do
not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or pour it down a
drain.
