Transmission oil
Transmission oil measurement
1. Place the machine on a level surface.
2. Warm up the engine for several minutes,
and then stop it.
3. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe off the
dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick
in the filler hole without screwing it in.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles
before checking.
4. Remove the dipstick and inspect the oil
level.
5. The oil level should be between the maxi-
mum and minimum marks. If the level is
low, add oil to raise it to the proper level.
6. Install the oil filler cap.
