MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY THE USER

CAUTION
Although oil is filled when the machine is shipped, check if
designated amount of oil is filled in designated places
before using the machine. Exchange oil regularly to keep
the machine in good condition. When inspecting,
exchanging, or refuelling oil, put the machine on the large
flat ground. Stop the engine after idling, and wait until each
part is cooled down (at least 5 minutes).
If starting immediately after stopping the engine: each part
of the engine is still hot and dangerous.
Figure 11(LS280)
Immediately after the engine stops, precise amount of oil
cannot be measured as oil still remains in each part of the
transmission. Dispose the old oil properly after exchanging.
