Checking the Engine Oil
Hot oil can cause serious burns. To prevent getting burned when changing or checking the
engine oil, wear appropriate gloves and change the oil when the engine is warm but not hot.
The low oil sensor (if equipped) will automatically stop the engine when the oil level falls
below the safe limit. To avoid an unexpected shutdown, check the oil level before each
use, fill to the upper limit, and always operate engine on a level surface.
The engine is shipped from the factory without oil. Running the engine without oil will
result in severe engine damage and void the warranty. To avoid causing engine damage
and voiding the warranty, fill the engine with the recommended oil type before starting.
Oil is a major factor in the performance and service life of any engine. Using the incorrect
oil may damage the engine and void the warranty. To avoid causing engine damage and
voiding the warranty, check and change oil as required using the correct engine oil.
