Checking the Oil Level

Check the oil level in the engine when the machine is standing level and the engine is stopped.

Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and then replace it.

The dipstick should be screwed into place.

Take the dipstick out again and read the oil level.

The oil level should lie between the markings on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the ”ADD” mark, fill the oil to the ”FULL” mark on the dipstick.

Never fill to above the ”FULL” mark.

The oil is filled through the hole for the dipstick.

API class SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher must be used. Syntetic oil SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 is recommended at all temperatures. Mineral oil SAE 5W-30, 10W-30 can be used between -18 °C/0 °F and +5 °C/40 °F. At temperature above +5 °C/40 °F single grade SAE 30 must be used.

The engine holds 0.88 qt (1.0 liters) of oil excluding the filter, including filter 2 qt (1.9 liters).
