MAINTENANCE

Changing the oil

The oil should be changed for the first time after 8 hours of running time. Thereafter it should be changed every 50 hours of running time. If the engine is run hard or during high temperatures the oil should be changed every 25 running 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. Dismantle the engine hood as described on page 18.

2. Place a receptacle under the engine’s drain plug.

3.Remove the dip stick. Remove the drain plug on the left-hand side of the engine.

4.Let the oil run out into the receptacle.

5.Fit the oil plug and tighten well.

6.Fill up with oil to the FULL mark on the dip stick. Use engine oil SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30, class CD–CF (over 0°). Use engine oil SAE 5W-30, class CD–CF (below 0°). The total oil volume in the engine is 1.3 litres.

7.Run the engine warm and then check that there is no leakage from the oil plug.

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