6.2.13.1 ENGINE OIL
ATTENTION:
To avoid personal injury:
• Be sure to turn off the engine before checking the oil level and before changing the
oil filter cartridge;
• Do not touch the muffler or exhaust pipe while they are hot; this could cause serious
burns. Be sure to turn off the engine and allow it to cool before inspecting,
maintaining or cleaning;
• Contact with engine oil can be harmful to the skin. Wear gloves before using oil. If oil
is spilt on you, wash the part immediately.
NOTE:
• Be sure to inspect the engine, placing it in a level position. If it is placed on a slope, it is
not possible to accurately measure the quantity of oil;
• Be careful to keep the oil level between the upper and lower limits of the oil level
indicator. Excessive oil could cause a drop in the engine's developed power or excessive
leakage gas. In the case of the closed vent type engine, the oil mist is drawn through the
opening and too much oil could cause oil hammer. Too little oil, instead, could cause the
engine parts to seize in contact, sliding or rotating. (The closed vent is optional).
6.2.13.1.1 Checking the level and topping up the engine oil

after stopping;
2. Pull out the oil level indicator, clean it by wiping it and reinsert it;
3. Remove the oil level indicator again and check the oil level;
