Checking Engine Oil Level

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Avoid dirt and other contaminants from entering the oil dipstick tube location. Clean area around dipstick before removing.

Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine problems if oil level is low:

• Check oil level before operating.

• Check oil level when the engine is cold and not running.

• Keep level between the full and the add marks.

• Shut off engine before adding oil.

• If you run engine over 4 operating hours a day, check oil level twice a day.

1. Raise attachment to service position. (See Using the Lift Cylinder Safety Support in the Safety section.)

2. Park vehicle safely. (See Parking Safely in the Safety section.)
