(Refer to " 7.1. Periodic Inspection Cycle")
5.2. Lubrication System
5.2.1. Exchanging of lubrication oil
Engine oil and the oil filter are important factors affecting engine life. They affect ease of start-
ing, fuel economy, combustion chamber deposits and engine wear. Refill and drain oil pan
every 50 hours of operation or 6 months whichever occurs first. At the end of the break-in peri-
od (50 hours), change the oil sump oil and replace the oil filter.
5.2.2. Oil level
Check the oil level in the engine sump daily
with a dipstick.
¥
The notches in dipstick must indicate the
oil level between the max. and the min.
permissible.
¥
The oil level should be checked with the
engine horizontal and only after it has
been shut down for about 5 minutes.
¥
Examining the viscosity and the contami-
nation of the oil smeared at the dipstick
replace the engine oil if necessary.
Caution : Do not add so much engine oil that the oil level rises above the max. marking on
the dipstick. Over lifting will result in damage to the engine.
