Engine Mounts - Inspect
Check the engine mounts for deterioration. Check the bolts
on the engine mounts for the proper torque. The correct torque
on the bolts will prevent excessive engine vibration that is
caused from improper mounting.
Engine Oil Level - Check
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury.
Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact skin.
NOTICE
Do not under fill or overfill engine crankcase with oil.
Either condition can cause engine damage.
Park the machine on level ground.
Check the crankcase oil level with the machine level. If
the machine has just been stopped, wait for a
minimum of one minute. The minute will allow oil to
drain back into the crankcase.
