CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
WARNING
State and federal agencies have de-
termined that contact with used engine oil can
cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Avoid
skin contact and breathing of vapors. Use rub-
ber gloves and wash exposed skin.
To check engine oil level:
1. Park the vehicle on level ground, shut down the
generator set and remove the front access
door.
2. Pull out the oil dip stick, wipe it clean, reinsert
it and pull it out again to check the oil level (Fig-
ure 3-1).
3. Add or drain oil as necessary. See REC-
OMMENDED ENGINE OIL (p. 2-1). Keep the
oil level between the MIN / MAX marks.
CAUTION
Too much oil can cause high oil
consumption. Too little oil can cause severe
engine damage. Keep the oil level between
the MIN / MAX marks.
4. Reinsert the dipstick and secure the oil fill cap
and front access door.
