1. Daily:
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
Note: Before checking oil level: Allow the engine to remain stationary
for at least 1 minute.
- The correct level is between the marks on the dipstick. Top up when the
level is at the lower mark.
- Correct type, see "Oil grade" on page 28.
Checking oil level during operation
On some engines the oil level can be checked during operation.
- Remove the oil filler cap to release the pressure in the crankcase.
- Check the level on the dipstick. Correct oil level: 10 mm below the Min.
or Max. mark.
2. Every 400 hours:
OIL CHANGE
Note: If the engine is used for especially demanding operations,
particularly in a dusty environment or if the deposits in the
centrifugal cleaner are thicker than 20 mm: change the oil at
more frequent intervals.
- Unscrew the plug and drain the oil when the engine is hot.
- In certain engines the oil is pumped out by means of a bilge pump.
- Clean the magnet on the plug.
- Refit the plug.
- Fill up with oil.
