Maintenance
5.4 Engine lubrication system
If the engine oil level is too low or if an oil change is overdue, this can cause
Engine damage or loss of output!
☞ Have the oil changed by an authorised workshop
– see chapter 5.15 Maintenance plan (overview) on page 5-35
Checking the oil level
Check the oil level once a day.
We recommend checking it before starting the engine. After switching off a warm
engine, wait at least 5 minutes before checking.
Checking the oil level
☞ Proceed as follows:
• Park the machine on level ground
• Switch off the engine!
• Let the engine cool down
• Open the engine cover
• Clean the area around the oil dipstick with a lint-free cloth
• Oil dipstick A:
☞ Pull it out
☞ Wipe it with a lint-free cloth
☞ Push it back in as far as possible
☞ Withdraw it and read off the oil level
☞ However if necessary, fill up oil at the latest when the oil reaches the MIN mark on the
oil dipstick
