2. With the compressor standing level, check the level of the engine oil. Add oil,
if necessary, up to the upper mark on the dipstick. Consult the Engine Operation
Manual for the type and viscosity grade of the engine oil.
3. Check the level of the compressor oil. See section Compressor regulating
system. The pointer of the oil level gauge (OLG) should register in the green
range. Add oil if necessary. See section Coolant specifications for the oil to be
used.
Before removing the oil filler plug (FP),

Alternator precautions
1. Never reverse the polarity of the battery or the
alternator.
2. Never break any alternator or battery connections
while the engine is running.
3. When recharging the battery, disconnect it from
the alternator. Before using booster cables to start
the engine, be sure of the polarity and connect the
batteries correctly.
4. Never operate the engine without the main or
voltage sensing cables connected in the circuit.
