CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
WARNING
State and federal agencies have de-
termined that contact with used engine oil can
cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Try to
avoid skin contact and breathing of vapors. Use
rubber gloves and wash exposed skin.
Park the vehicle on level ground and shut off the
genset before checking the engine oil level.
1. Unscrew the oil fill cap, pull out the dipstick and
wipe off the oil (Figure 5). Reinsert the dipstick,
screw the cap back on, remove the dipstick
again and check the oil level on the dip stick.
2. Add or drain oil as necessary. See ENGINE OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS (Page 6). Keep the
oil level between the FULL and ADD marks.
CAUTION
Too much oil can cause high oil
consumption. Too little oil can cause severe
engine damage. Keep the oil level between
the FULL and ADD marks.
3. Reinsert the dipstick and screw the oil fill cap
back on securely.
