LUBRICATION

Check the engine’s oil level

Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider stands horizontal with the engine switched off.

Check the oil level in the engine when the machine is horizontal.

Raise the engine cover.

Release the dip stick and pull out. Wipe off the oil and insert again.

The dip stick must be fully screwed down.

Now release the dip stick again and pull out. Check the oil level.

The oil level should lie between the markings on dip stick. If the level approaches the ”ADD” mark, top up with oil to the ”FULL” mark.

The oil is filled in the same hole for the dip stick.

Fill the oil slowly. Tighten the dipstick correctly before starting the engine. Start and run the engine at idling speed for approx. 30 seconds. Turn off the engine. Wait 30 seconds and check oil level. If necessary fill so that the oil comes up to the ”FULL” mark on the dipstick.

First and foremost use synthetic engine oil class SJ-CF 5W/30 or 10W/30 for all temperature ranges. Mineral oil SAE30, class SF–CC can be used at temperatures > +5°C (40°F).

Do not mix different types of oil.

Changing the oil

The oil should be changed for the first time after 5 hours of running time. Thereafter it should be changed every 50 hours of running time.

With heavy loads or high temperatures replace the oil after every 25 hours.

WARNING!

Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained off directly after the engine is stopped. Therefore allow the engine to cool down first.

1.Place a receptacle under the engine’s drain plug, located on the left-hand side of the engine.

2.Remove the dip stick and drain plug.

3.Let the oil run out into the receptacle.

4.Fit the drain plug and tighten.

5.Fill up with oil to the ”FULL” mark on the dip stick. The oil is filled in the same hole for the dip stick. See ”Checking the engine’s oil level” above for filling instructions. The engine holds 1.4 litres (1.5 USqt) of oil.

6.Run the engine warm and then check that there is no leakage from the drain plug.
