LUBRICATION

Engine Oil

The engine should be warm (but not hot) when changing the oil. Warm oil flows out faster and leaves a smaller quantity of old oil inside the engine.

1.Place a suitable container underneath the oil drainage screw. Remove the oil dipstick and the oil drainage screw on the back surface of the engine.

Tip: Make a channel using a piece of cardboard to lead the oil directly into the container to avoid soiling the machine chassis.

2.Allow the engine oil to drain into the container; then replace the drainage screw. Tighten it moderately.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Used engine oil is a health hazard and legislation prohibits disposal on the ground or in nature; it should always be disposed of at a workshop or appropriate disposal location. Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and water in case of spills.

3.Make sure the machine is parked on flat ground.

Fill with new oil using the appropriate viscosity according to the diagram, API Service SF-SG, to the upper level mark on the dipstick = threads on the oil dipstick. The engine takes 1.16 qts.

(1.1 liters) of oil. When checking the oil level, the dipstick should not be screwed in.

4.Check that the rubber gasket is in position and screw the dipstick back into place. Do not tighten it askew or too hard or you may damage the threads.

5.Wipe up any spilled oil.

WARNING!

Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained directly after stopping the machine. Allow the engine to cool for approximately 2 minutes.
