Changing The Oil; Lubrication; Checking The Engine's Oil Level - Husqvarna Rider 11 Operator's Manual

Check the engine's oil level
Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider
stands horizontal with the engine switched off.
Fold open the engine cover.
Release the dip stick and pull out. Wipe off the oil
and insert again.
The dip stick must be fully screwed down.
Now release the dip stick again and pull out. Check
the oil level.
The oil level should be between the markings on
dip stick. If the level approaches the ADD mark, top
up with oil to the FULL mark.
The oil is filled in the same hole as for the dip stick.
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
engine. Wait 30 seconds and check 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.

Changing the oil

The oil should be changed for the first time after 5
hours of running time. Thereafter it should be
changed every 50 hours of running time.
With heavy loads or high temperatures replace the
oil after every 25 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. Place a receptacle under the engine's drain
plug, located on the left-hand side of the engine.
2. Remove the dip stick and drain plug.
3. Let the oil run out into the receptacle.
4. Fit the drain plug and tighten.
5. Fill up with oil to the FULL mark on the dip stick.
The oil is filled in the same hole for the dip stick.
See "Checking the engine's oil level" above for
filling instructions. The engine holds 1.4 litres
(1.5 USqt) of oil.
6. Run the engine warm and then check that there
is no leakage from the drain plug.
