regularly could lead to serious engine problems if oil level is
out of the operating range:
Check oil level before operating.
Check oil level when the engine is cold and not running.
Keep oil level between the dipstick marks.
Shut off engine before adding oil.
NOTE: Check oil twice a day if you run engine over 4 hours in a day.

Changing Conventional Engine Oil and Filter
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Operating in extreme conditions
may require more frequent service intervals:
Engine components may become dirty or plugged when
operating in extreme heat, dust, or other severe
conditions.
Engine oil can degrade if machine is operated constantly
at slow or low engine speeds or for frequent short
periods of time.
1. Run engine to warm oil.
2. Park machine safely on the level surface. (See Parking Safely in
the Safety section.)
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Dirt and contamination can enter
engine when checking oil level. Clean area around dipstick
before loosening or removing.
