To gain access to the oil reservoir hinge the rear seat forward, open and remove oil
reservoir cap and remove dipstick. Turn the engine over using the propeller in the correct
sense of rotation until you clearly hear the oil gurgle in the tank.
Insert the cleaned dipstick fully for measurement. Fill up oil according to the engine
manufacturer’s specification when required. After completion make sure the dip stick is in
place and the reservoir cap is back on securely.
CAUTION
Never attempt to turn the engine against its sense of rotation as this may lead
to damage.
