-
Raise the cargo box. Unlock the dipstick lever 1. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
-
Reinstall the dipstick and push it into place. Do not lock the dipstick.
NOTEMake certain the dipstick is inserted all the way into the dipstick tube to keep the depth of the dipstick consistent.
-
Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
-
Add the recommended oil as necessary to bring the oil level within the SAFE range on dipstick. Do not overfill (see NOTE below).
NOTEA rising oil level between checks during cold weather operation can indicate contaminants such as gas or moisture collecting in the crankcase. If the oil level is over the upper mark, change the oil immediately.
-
With the cargo box raised, add engine oil through the oil fill cap 2 located on top of the valve cover, under the cargo box.
-
When finished, reinstall dipstick and lock the lever. Lower the cargo box and secure in position.
