must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level

result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for two
minutes, and then turn it off.
NOTICE

The engine must be cold before pro-
ceeding with the oil level check, oth-
erwise the check will result in a false
reading.

tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-left side of the crank-
case.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
