Changing the oil and oil filter
N.B. Before draining the oil, make sure that it is at normal
working temperature.
1. Remove the drain plug from the underside of the sump and
drain the oil.
2. Clean the area round the filters and place a tray under the
filters to collect any spillage.
3. Remove and discard the filter canisters, which are of dispos-
able type.
4. Pour clean oil into the centre of the new filters, wait until the
oil has seeped through the filter paper and top up until the fil-
ters are full.
5. Lubricate the canister seals with oil.
6. Fit the new filters and tighten them - by hand only.
7. Fill the engine with oil (see Group 90, Lubrication chart).
8. Run the engine and check that no oil leaks at thefilters.
9. Stop the engine and check the oil level after a few minutes.
Top up as necessary to the MAX level on the dipstick.
N.B. To avoid serious damage to the engine, use only genu-
ine Kalmar filters.
Checking the V-belt tension
1. Check at regular intervals that the V-belts are correctly ten-
sioned. It should not be possible to depress the V-belt more
than 10 - 12 mm mid-way between the pulleys.
2. The engines are equipped with an automatic belt tensioner
which maintains the belt tension constant.
N.B. If the belt drive consists of two belts, always change
both belts.
