The oil is topped up through the hole the dipstick sits in. 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 motor. Wait 30 seconds and check the 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.

Replacing the engine oil

The engine oil should be changed the first time after 8 hours running time. It should then be changed after every 50 hours of running time. When operating with a heavy load or at high ambient temperatures, replace every 25 hours.

WARNING! Engine oil can be very hot if it is

!drained directly after stopping the engine. Allow the engine to cool somewhat first.

1Place a container underneath the engine’s left oil drain plug.

2Remove the dipstick. Remove the drain plug from the engine’s left side.

3Let the oil run out into the container.

4Fit the drain plug and tighten it.

5If necessary fill so that the oil comes up to the FULL mark on the dipstick. The oil is topped up through the hole the dipstick sits in. See Checking the engine’s oil level for filling instructions. The engine holds 1.4 litres (1.5 USqt) when the oil filter is not replaced and 1.6 litres (1.7 USqt) of oil when the oil filter is replaced.

6Run the engine warm, then check that there is no leakage from the oil plug.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Used engine oil, antifreeze etc. is a health hazard and must not be disposed of 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.

Changing the oil filter

The oil filter must be replaced after every 200 hours running time. Turn the old oil filter anti-clockwise to remove. If necessary, use a filter remover.

Lightly lubricate the rubber seal on the new oil filter using new oil. Fit the oil filter by turning clockwise. Turn by hand until the rubber seal is seated. Now tighten a further half turn.

Fill with new oil according to Checking the engine’s oil level. Start the engine and let it idle for about 3 minutes. Now stop it and check for signs of leakage. Fill with oil to compensate for the oil held in the new oil filter.
