5. Ensure the oil level is to the full mark on the
dipstick when it is fully installed. Do not overfill
or engine damage may result.
6. Insert the dipstick and turn it clockwise to secure
it in the fill tube.
Note: Check the oil level every 5 operating
hours or each time rider is used.
Initially, drain the oil and replace it
after the first 5 hours of operation to
remove the contaminants produced by
normal engine break-in; thereafter,
under normal conditions, change oil
after every 25 hours of operation.
Change the oil more frequently when
the engine is operated in dusty or dirty
conditions.
