MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
97
j
Engine Oil
In order for the engine and transmission to function
properly, maintain the engine oil at the proper level,
and change the oil and replace the oil filter in ac-
cordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Not
only do dirt and metal particles collect in the oil, but
the oil itself loses its lubricative quality if used too
long.
WARNING
Vehicle operation with insufficient, deterio-
rated, or contaminated engine oil will cause
accelerated wear and may result in engine
seizure, accident, and injury. Check the oil
level before each use and change the oil and
filter according to the periodic maintenance
chart in the owner’s manual.
Oil Level Inspection
•
If the oil has just been changed, start the engine
and run it for several minutes at idle speed. This
fills the oil filter with oil. Stop the engine, then wait
several minutes until the oil settles.
NOTICE
Racing the engine before the oil reaches ev-
ery part can cause engine seizure.
Operation with insufficient, deteriorated, or
contaminated engine oil will cause acceler-
ated engine wear.
•
If the vehicle has just been used, wait several min-
utes for all the oil to drain down.
•
Remove the operator’s seat for access.
•
Unhook the upper part of rubber cover from the
hooks and open the cover.
