47 PERIODIC SERVICE A Do not permit dirt or trash to get into the fuel system. A Be careful not to let the fuel tank become empty, otherwise air will enter the fuel system, necessitating bleeding before next engine start. A Be careful not to spill during refueling. If you should spill, wipe it off at once, or it may cause a fire. A To prevent water condensation from accumulating in the fuel tank, fill the tank before parking overnight. B Checking Engine Oil Level To avoid personal injury: A Be sure to stop the engine before checking the oil level. 1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, raise the cargo bed, and mount the safety support.

To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick, wipe it clean, replace it, and draw it out again. Check to see that the oil level lies between the two notches. If the level is too low, add new oil to the prescribed level at the oil inlet. (See "LUBRICANTS, FUEL AND COOLANT" in "MAINTENANCE" section.)
