How to renew the lubricating oil
Warning! Discard the used lubricating oil in a safe place and in accordance with local regulations.
Note: Renew the lter canister when the lubricating oil is renewed.
1. Using the sump drain pump (S1). Pump the lubricating oil into a suitable container with a capacity of
approximately 10 litres (17.5 pints), the lubricating oil should be drained while it is still hot.
2. Remove the container of used lubricating oil.
3. Clean the area around the ller cap on top of the rocker cover and remove the cap.
Caution: Do not ll the sump past the notch (T1) on the dipstick (T2) as this can have an adverse affect on on
the performance of the engine. Excess lubricating oil must be drained from the sump. An excess of lubricating
oil could enter the engine breather valve. This could cause the engine speed to increase rapidly without
control.
4. Add slowly, approximately 7,0 litres (15.8 pints) of new and clean lubricating oil of an approved
specication to the engine. Allow the oil enough time to pass to the sump, remove the dipstick (T2) and
ensure that the lubricating oil is to the full mark (T1). The oil level must not be above the full mark. If it is, the
engine could be damaged.
5. Fit the ller cap and ensure that the dipstick is tted correctly in the dipstick tube.
6. Start the engine and check for lubricating oil leakage. Stop the engine. After 15 minutes check the oil
level on the dipstick and, if necessary, put more lubricating oil into the sump.
