Checking Engine Oil Level - NC SW6 Maintenance Instructions Manual

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Oil is toxic. If you swallow any oil, do not induce vomiting, seek medical
advice immediately. Used engine oil contains harmful contaminants
which can cause skin cancer. Do not handle used engine oil more than
necessary. Always use barrier cream or wear gloves to prevent skin
contact. Wash skin contaminated with oil in warm soapy water. Do not
use petrol, diesel fuel or paraffin to clean your skin.
Clean away all dirt from around the dipstick and tube.

Ensure the engine oil is warm (NOT HOT) and

Pull the dipstick (A) from the engine, wipe the oil off
•
the dipstick using clean paper roll.
Put the dipstick back into its tube and push it firmly
•
down. Remove the dipstick and check oil level.
Check the oil level is between the two marks on the

point (B)
If the oil is below the recommended level DO NOT use the dumper until sufficient oil
has been added to bring it up to the required level
ADDING OIL
Unscrew the engine oil filler cap (B) and add clean
•
fresh oil of the correct grade (see technical
specification). Ensure the oil is from an clean source
and the container is clean.
Check the oil level frequently when adding oil: too

oil to drain to the sump before checking the level.
When the oil level is up to the full mark on the
•
dipstick, refit the engine oil filler cap and ensure the
dipstick has been firmly pushed back into the dipstick
pipe.
