3. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the
filler neck. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.
4. If the oil level is low (Figure 4), fill to the edge of the oil filler
hole with the recommended oil type (Table 1).Maximum

Gasoline is extremely flammable, and its
vapors can cause an explosion if ignited.
DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel
or combustible fluids.
DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or
hot. DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if
it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from
the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in
well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.
