8.5.1 Checking the engine oil level
Regularly check the oil level. Engine problems may occur if the oil level is too low. Check before every use and twice a
day if you run the engine for more than four hours a day.
Before you begin: Make sure the machine is parked safely on an even surface and the engine is cold.
1. Open the bonnet.
2. Clean the area around the dipstick.
3. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it dry.
4. Insert the dipstick back in its place.
5. Pull out the dipstick and check the oil
level.
The level must be between the two lines.
• If the oil level is too low, add oil until
the level is not higher than the upper
line on the dipstick.
• If the oil level is above upper line,
drain the oil until it is at the correct
level.
6. Insert the dipstick back in its place.
7. Close the bonnet.
