MEASURING THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
1. Check:
engine oil level
Below the minimum level mark
a Add the
recommended engine oil to the proper level.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
When the engine is cold, the engine oil will
have a higher viscosity, causing the engine
oil pressure to increase. Therefore, be sure
to measure the engine oil pressure after
warming up the engine.

CAUTION:
NOTE:
NOTE: 4. Install:
air filter case cover
Never operate the engine without the air fil-
ter element installed. Unfiltered air will
cause rapid wear of engine parts and may
damage the engine. Operating the engine
without the air filter element will also affect
the throttle bodies tuning, leading to poor
engine performance and possible overheat-
ing.
When installing the air filter element into the air
filter case cover, make sure their sealing sur-
faces are aligned to prevent any air leaks.
