  1. Check the oil when the engine is cold and safe to touch.

  2. Make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface and that the transmission in PARK.

  3. Locate the dipstick 1 on the right side of the unit.

  4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

  5. Reinstall the dipstick and push it into place.

    NOTICE

    Make certain the dipstick is inserted all the way into the dipstick tube to keep the depth of the dipstick consistent.

  6. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.

  7. Add the recommended oil as necessary to bring the oil level within the SAFE range on dipstick. Do not overfill.

    NOTICE

    A 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.

  9. When finished, reinstall dipstick. Lower the cargo box and secure in position.
