Check means to keep something functioning as it should. The executive branch checks the power of the judicial branch. Check can also mean to verify.
Check it out means come and look at this strange thing.

"Check it" is used when you want verify if something is correct (or working properly.) For ex., I'm not sure what time the show starts, I better check it on the ticket. Or, my car is making a strange noise I'm going to take it to my mechanic to check it.
"Check it out" is used to just look at or learn about something that you've heard about to become familiar with it. Allen told me that "Shameless" is a really funny tv show. I'm going to check it out for myself and see if I agree.

@truongvutute more or less, but not exactly. check it out could mean "look at" but it could also mean "listen to it" -- as in I love this song, check it out"... or, "taste it" -- as in "my cake didn't come out as well as last time, here check it out handing them a piece to eat.)
