Changing the oil filter

!

WARNING! Engine oil can be very hot if it is

drained directly after stopping the engine.

Allow the engine to cool somewhat first.

The oil filter is located on the right side of the engine.

Open the engine cover.

Place a suitable vessel to collect the oil in.

Turn the old oil filter anti-clockwise to remove. If necessary, use a filter remover.

Clean the oil filter bracket.

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.

Start the engine and let it idle for about 3 minutes. Now stop it and check for signs of leakage.

Check the engine oil level and top up if necessary.

IMPORTANT!

Used engine oil and transmission oil is hazardous to health and must not be disposed of in the ground or out of doors.

Replaced filters must be handed in to the workshop or other allotted place for disposal.

Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and water in case of spills.

Check the hydraulic system oil level

The oil and filter should be changed by an authorised service representative, as described in the Workshop Manual. Work on the system entails particular demands on cleanliness and the system must be vented before the machine is used.

Fold up the seat.

Remove the filler cap. The level should be 40-60 mm from the strainer top.

Refill as required with fully synthetic 10W/50 API SM oil or better
