Check the oil level at the engine oil inspection window on the right side cover. Clean the oil inspection window on the right side cover with the wiper. If the levet is below the lower level mark on the inspection window, remove the filler cap and fill to the upper level mark. Check the oil pressure with the warning indicator switch after the engine starts. The indicator should go off after one or two seconds. If it does not, check the oil pump function and/or oil circuit.
