4.3 Check before starting unit
Be sure to check the unit before operation.
When any abnormality is found, be sure to repair it before restarting the unit.
Be sure to make daily checks before operation. If the unit is operated without prior check and without
noticing its abnormality, such operation could cause seizure of components or may even cause fire.
4.3.1 Check Engine Oil Level
Unit should be on level before checking oil level.
When you check oil level after you have once started operation, wait 10 to 20 minutes after stopping
engine, before checking the oil level.
①
Pull out the engine oil dipstick, and wipe it
with a clean cloth.
② Then, re-insert the dipstick fully and pull it out
again. If the dipstick shows the oil level
between Upper limit and Lower limit, it is
normal.
③ When the oil level is below its Lower limit, add
engine oil.
While checking oil level, check also for
contamination. If the oil is found dirty,
contaminated or should it be changed according to
the periodic inspection list, change the oil.
(See 5.5.1)
Never fill oil more than Upper limit level.
