CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

The importance of checking and maintaining the proper oil level
in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized. Check oil before
each use:
CAUTION:
damage to the unit, always maintain the proper oil
level in the crankcase. Never operate the unit with
the oil level below the bottom of the dipstick.
1. Stop the engine and allow oil to drain into the crankcase.
2. Place the engine on a flat, level surface with the cutting
head shield hanging off a work bench or table to get a
proper oil level reading (Fig. 39).
3. Keep dirt, grass clippings and other debris out of the engine.
Clean the area around the dipstick before removing it.
4. Remove the oil fill plug.
5. Look into the oil fill hole, use a flashlight if needed. The oil
should be just touching the inner most thread (Fig. 40).
6. If the oil level is not touching the inner most thread on the
oil fill hole, add a small amount of oil to the oil fill hole and
recheck (Fig. 40). Repeat this procedure until the oil level
reaches the inner most thread on the oil fill hole.
NOTE: Do not overfill the unit.
NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug when
checking and changing the oil (Fig. 41).
