11.4 Maintenance after 20 Running Hours
11.4.1 Changing the Engine Oil
Ensure that the engine is parked on a level surface and shut off.
Locate the bolt that is screwed into the crankcase and which is located at the
right side of the engine, at the bottom of the motor bed plate. (See the engine manual.)
Position a 1 litre receptacle beneath the sump first and then remove the oil drain plug.
Allow the oil (± 0.75 l) to drain into the receptacle. The bedplate has a factory hole
which makes for easy draining of the oil from the underside of the motor bed plate.
Refit and tighten the sump plug. Always clean fluid spills using a clean cloth.
Refill the engine with fresh four-stroke oil. ELIET recommend a high quality detergent
oil. SUNOCO DENALUBE SAE 20W50 API SF / CC.
Pour ± 0,75 l of oil into the oil filler plug until it reaches the edge of the filler point.
After filling, clean up any oil that may have been spilled.
Warning:
Too little oil in the engine leads to irrevocable serious damage to
the engine.
11.4.2 Checking or Changing the Spark Plug
