Lubrication system
Changing the oil
Hot oil can cause burns and skin irritation. Wear
protective gloves and goggles when changing
hot oil. Make sure that there is no pressure in the
lubrication system before starting work on it.
The oil filler cap must always be in place when
starting and running the engine to prevent oil be-
ing ejected.
Renew the oil filter and clean the centrifugal oil
cleaner when changing oil.
Change oil more often if the engine is subjected
to particularly demanding operation, such as a
dusty environment, or if deposits in the centrifu-
gal oil cleaner are thicker than 28 mm (1.1 in).
Use a suitable container. Used oil must be dis-
posed of as specified in national and internation-
al laws and regulations.
1. Unscrew the oil plug and drain the oil when
the engine is hot. In certain engines the oil is
pumped out by means of a bilge pump.
When draining with the valve, the oil should
be hot. Alternatively, use a pump. This so
that draining occurs more quickly.
2. Clean the magnet on the oil plug.
3. Refit the oil plug.
4. Top up with oil.
5. Check the level on the oil dipstick.
Maximum angles of inclination during opera-
tion
Maximum permissible angles during operation
vary, depending on the type of oil sump. See il-
lustration.
