9.5.2 - FILTER AND ENGINE OIL CHANGE
• After the first 50 hours of running in, the filter and thermal motor oil must be
replaced.
• Replace the filter and thermal motor oil every 250 working hours.
• Quantity of oil to use: approx. 7 litres
• The engine oil must be chosen very carefully; refer to the table in section
9.4.1.
• The used oil and filter are classified as hazardous waste and must be
disposed of
correctly.
• Do not dispose of with household waste.
• Contact your local authorities, support centre or dealer for disposal/recycling
centres.
• Do not carry out these operations if the engine has just been switched off; wait
until
the engine is warm (40-45°C).
• Oil spilled during the replacement may cause slipping; wear protective
garments and non-slip footwear and remove any traces of oil.
Perform the operations listed below to replace the filter and thermal motor oil:
1. Run the engine for approximately five minutes at idle speed to warm the oil and then turn it off;
2. Position the machine on a level surface, switch the engine off and remove the key;
3. Remove the bottom protection (A) by first unscrewing the eight screws (B) with a 13-mm spanner;
4. Place a container under the engine to collect the used oil;
5. Unscrew the oil sump drain cap (C) with a 19-mm spanner;
6. Clean the inspection and top-up area to reduce the possibility of contaminating the engine oil with
impurities.
