CHECK OIL LEVEL IN ENGINE OIL PAN, ADD OIL
WARNING
Parts and oil are at high temperature immediately after the engine is stopped and may cause serious
burns. Wait for the oil temperature to go down before performing this operation.
1.
Stop the engine and wait for the temperature at all parts to go down.
REMARK
When checking the oil level after the engine has been operated, wait for at least 15 minutes after stopping the
engine before checking.
Checking the oil level with the engine idling may be allowed, if the following precautions are thoroughly satisfied:
o Check that the engine water temperature gauge shows green range.
o Use the side of the dipstick marked “ENGINE IDLING“.
o Remove the oil filler cap.
If the machine is at an angle, make it horizontal before checking.
2.
Open the engine side cover at the rear left of the machine.
3.
Take out the dipstick (G) and wipe off the oil with cloth.
4.
Fully insert dipstick (G) into filler pipe (F), then remove it.
5.
The oil level should be between the H and L marks on dip-
stick (G).
If the oil level is below the L mark, add oil through oil filler
(F).
The dipstick has level markings on both sides. One side
gives the levels for measuring when the engine is stopped
(ENGINE STOPPED) and the other side gives the levels
for when the engine is idling (ENGINE IDLING).
When measuring the oil level, measure with the engine
stopped and use the side of the dipstick marked “ENGINE
STOPPED“.
6.
If the oil is above the H line, install a hose to the oil drain
port of drain plug (P), drain the excess oil, then check the
oil level again.
7.
If the oil level is correct, tighten oil filler cap (F) securely,
then remove the hose and close the engine side cover.
