oil to drain into a receptacle. Never
drain used oil to the ground, waste,
water lines or sewage.
Take out the oil drain together with oil
filter, clean these components carefully
and blow with compressed air. Check
o-ring and sealing and replace them if
necessary.
Once the entire oil has been drained,
clean the sealing surface, mount the oil
drain together with spring, oil filter and
sealing on the right position and tighten

litres of the recommended engine oil
type.
Start the engine and check for leaks.

contains are very hot. Please take
all cares to avoid burning yourself.
