WARNING
The engine may be damaged if operated with insufficient lube oil. It is also dangerous to

caused by its combustion. Always check the lube oil level before starting the engine and
refill if necessary.

CAUTION:
When checking the oil level, make sure your engine is sitting level. If it is tilted, you may add
either too much or too little oil. If you overfill, your engine will consume too much oil and the
oil temperature will become dangerously high; if you do not add enough oil, your engine
could seize up.
When checking the oil, simply dip the dipstick into the oil pan. Do not screw in the dipstick.
Be sure to check the engine on a level surface with the engine stopped.
