5.1 Pre-start inspection
5.1.1 Walk-around Inspection
Look around for items such as loose bolts, debris
build-up, oil, fuel, or coolant leaks, broken or worn
parts.
5.1.2 Check engine oil level
Maintain the engine oil level between the MAX
and MIN marks on the dipstick. Add oil if
necessary (see page 34).
5.1.3 Check fuel level
Make sure that the fuel level is at the FULL mark
in the sight gauge.
5.1.4 Check the coolant level
Maintain the coolant level to the FULL mark on the
reservoir tank (when the engine is cold). Add
coolant when necessary.
NOTE
The engine should be put in the horizontal
position to check the oil level. The dipstick
should be withdrawn, wiped clean, re-inserted in
the oil level guide for 2 seconds, and again
withdrawn so that the oil level on the dipstick can
be seen.
NOTE
When adding coolant, maintain the
recommended concentration of Long Life
Coolant (see page 36). Do not add water. This
dilutes Long Life Coolant and adversely affects
the freeze protection.
CAUTION
Check the coolant level only when the engine is
cold.
