Oil level. Checking and filling
The oil level must be inside the marked area on the
dipstick (1) and should be checked daily before the
first start.
Top up the oil through the filling hole on the side of
the engine (2) . Check that the correct level has been
achieved. But wait a few minutes to allow the oil to
run down into the sump.
IMPORTANT! Do not fill up above the maximum
oil level. Only use a recommended grade of oil
(please refer to previous page).
Engine oil. Change
Always observe the recommended oil change interval.
1. Warm the engine up (this makes it easier to suck
the oil up from the sump). Then stop the engine.
WARNING! Hot oil and hot surfaces can
cause burns.
2. Connect the suction pipe of the oil drain pipe to
the drain pipe. Pump up the oil.
3. Change the oil filter and bypass filter at each oil
change (please refer to the instructions on the
next page).
4. Fill up with oil to the correct level through the fill-
ing hole on the side of the engine (please refer to
the “Technical Data” chapter for oil volume).
IMPORTANT! Only use a recommended
grade of oil (please refer to previous page).
5. Start the engine and let it idle. Check that the low
oil pressure warning lamp goes out and that no
leakage occurs by the filters.
WARNING! Working with, or going close to
a running engine is a safety risk.Watch out
for rotating components and hot surfaces.
6. Stop the engine. Wait a few minutes before
checking the oil level. Top up as necessary.
NOTE! Hand the old oil in to a re-cycling station.
