Engine oil level
WARNING: Always use the specific PPE for the opera-
tion concerned.
WARNING: Beware of burns caused by hot tractor and
engine parts. [4.1.n]
For the engine, it is necessary to use an oil as indicated
in the Lubricants and Fuels Chart. Detergent oils contain
additives that reduce corrosion, oil oxidation and depos-
its and have a high dispersion power of carbon matters
produced by combustion.
WARNING: The following operations must be carried
out with the engine off. Check that the gear and the
parking brake are both engaged and that the ignition
key has been removed.
Personal safety devices must be worn for the indicated
operations.
Beware of burns caused by hot oil and engine parts.
If required, let the engine idle for the prescribed time to
reach the required temperature to let the oil flow easily.
Then turn off the engine.
If you need to open the bonnet, follow the procedure
indicated under "How to open the bonnet".
Leave the tractor parked on a flat surface for at least five
minutes before checking the level, to allow the oil to set-
tle in the sump:
– Take out the dipstick (1), wipe it with a rag and then dip
it into the filler again;
– Wait 10-15 minutes, then remove the dipstick again
and make sure that the oil level reaches and does not
exceed the level marked on it.
– If necessary, remove the dipstick (1) and pour additional
oil until the MAX level is reached.
Never fill up to a level higher than the MAX mark on the
dipstick.
WARNING: Never ever use the engine with the oil level
below the “MIN” mark.
