Check Engine Oil Level

--- every 10 hours (machine parked on a level
surface before starting the engine)
IMPORTANT: Incorrect engine oil level may cause
engine trouble (The oil level should be between the
upper and lower marks on oil level gauge (1)).
If engine oil level is too high, lower the oil level to
the proper place before starting the engine.
Check oil level before starting the engine. If the engine has
been running, stop the engine and wait at least 30 minutes
before checking the oil level.
Pull out oil level gauge (1). Check for mixing of foreign
matter or contamination in the oil. Wipe oil level gauge (1)
with cloth, re-insert it into the pipe to the end, and then
pull it out again.
The oil level should be between the [HIGH] and [LOW]
marks
on oil level gauge (1).
If oil level is below the [LOW] mark, add the recommended
engine oil via oil filler (2).
f
NOTE: Level the machine when adding oil or inspecting
oil level. When required to check oil level after operating
the machine, first stop the engine. Wait for more than
30 minutes. Then check oil level. (This means that the oil
will return to the oil pan, then oil level can be checked.) In
case the oil color changes, severe contamination, and/or
mixing of foreign matter may be seen, change the oil.
d
CAUTION: Do not spill oil while changing oil.
Spilled fuel, oil, and other flammables may cause
fires.
