NOTICE
Operating media must be observed.
Inappropriate coolant quantity can lead to serious engine damage.
The specifications given in Chapter 2.4 must be adhered to
when refilling oil..
Step Procedure
1 Prior to oil level check, turn the propeller several times
by hand in direction of engine rotation to pump all the oil
from the engine to the oil tank.
2 This process is completed when air flows back to the oil
tank. This air flow can be perceived as a murmur (gur-
gling) when the oil tank cover of the oil tank is removed.
3 Pull out the oil dipstick.
4 The oil level in the oil tank should be between the two
marks (max./min.) on the oil dipstick, but must never fall
below the min. mark.
During standard engine operation, the oil level should be
mid-way between the max. and min. marks, as at higher
oil level (over servicing), oil will escape via the venting
passage
Difference between max.- and min.- mark = 0.60 litre
(1.268 liq pt).
5 Replenish oil as required.
6 Check oil level – Marks on the oil dipstick.
7 Fit the oil dipstick and tighten the oil tank cover by hand.
