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.

Clean the area around

and the underside

of the

oil fill cap/dipstick

before removing

it. This will

help keep dirt, debris, and other foreign matter

out of the engine.
