CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
•
Clean away all dirt from around the dipstick and tube.
•
Ensure the engine oil is warm (NOT HOT) and
dumper is positioned on firm, level ground.
•
Pull the dipstick (A) from the engine, wipe the oil off
the dipstick using clean paper roll.
•
Put the dipstick back into its tube and push it firmly
down. Remove the dipstick and check oil level.
•
Check the oil level is between the two marks on the
dipstick.
•
If necessary add recommended oil through the filler
point (B)
If the oil is below the recommended level DO NOT use the dumper until sufficient oil
has been added to bring it up to the required level
ADDING OIL
•
Unscrew the engine oil filler cap (B) and add clean fresh oil of the correct grade (see
technical specification). Ensure the oil is from an clean source and the container is clean.
•
Check the oil level frequently when adding oil: too much oil can damage the engine.
Allow approx 5 minutes for the oil to drain to the sump before checking the level.
•
When the oil level is up to the full mark on the dipstick, refit the engine oil filler cap and
ensure the dipstick has been firmly pushed back into the dipstick pipe.
•
If using oil of a different brand from the previous one be sure to drain out all of the
previous oil before adding new oil
•
NC dumpers come pre filled with FUCHS Titan HPE 15W40 (which is an API CI-4 type
oil)
Oil is toxic. If you swallow any oil, do not induce vomiting, seek medical
advice immediately. Used engine oil contains harmful contaminants
which can cause skin cancer. Do not handle used engine oil more than
necessary. Always use barrier cream or wear gloves to prevent skin
contact. Wash skin contaminated with oil in warm soapy water. Do not
use petrol, diesel fuel or paraffin to clean your skin.
