Check Oil Level
The importance of checking and maintaining the proper
oil level in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized.
Check oil BEFORE EACH USE as follows:
.
.
Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is
cool so the oil has had time to drain into the sump.
To keep dirt, grass clippings, etc., out of the
engine, clean the area around the oil fill cap/
dipstick before removing it.
Pull and remove the oil fill cap/dipstick; wipe oil
off. Reinsert the dipstick and push firmly into
place. See Figure 6.
Figure 6. Checking Oil Level.

The oil level should be up to, but not over, the "F"
mark on the dipstick. See Figure 7.
