Changing the oil
Hot oil can cause burns and skin irritation. Wear
protective gloves and eye protection when
changing hot oil. Make sure that there is no pres-
sure in the lubrication system before changing
the oil. The oil filler cap must always be in place
when starting and running the engine to prevent
oil being ejected.
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).
Renew the oil filter and clean the centrifugal oil
cleaner when changing oil.
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 via the valve, the oil should be hot.
Alternatively, use a pump. This so that drain-
ing occurs more quickly.
2. Clean the magnet on the oil plug.
3. Refit the oil plug.
4. Fill with oil.
5. Check the level on the oil dipstick.
