Check Engine Oil Level

--- every 10 hours (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 the engine oil level is too high, control the oil level to
the proper quantity before starting the engine.
Check the oil level before starting the engine. 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 upper and lower marks on oil level
gauge (1).
If the oil level is below the lower limit mark, add the
recommended engine oil via oil filler (2).
If the oil level exceeds the upper limit mark, remove drain plug
(3), and then drain oil.
Recheck the oil level.

NOTE: Level the engine when adding oil or inspecting oil
level.
When required to check the oil level after operating the
machine, first stop the engine. Wait for more than 15 minutes.
Then check oil level.
(This means that the oil level will become stabilized after all
oil delivered to respective lubrication area returns to the oil
pan.)
In case the oil color changes, severe contamination and/or
mixing of foreign matter may be seen, change the oil.

WARNING: Do not spill oil while changing oil. Spilled
fuel and oil, and trash, grease, debris, accumulated
