Warnings!
l Discard the used canister and lubricating oil in a safe place and in accordance with local regulations.
l Do not fill the sump past the notch (A1) on the dipstick.
l Any excess lubricating oil must be drained to the correct level.
l An excess of lubricating oil could enter the breather valve. This could cause the engine speed to increase
rapidly without control.
Caution: Ensure that the application is on a level surface to ensure an accurate reading on the dipstick.
Fill the sump to the correct level. Fit the drain plug and a new "O" ring. To ensure that the engine will not start,
disconnect the electrical stop control of the fuel injection pump. Operate the starter motor until oil pressure is
obtained. Oil pressure is indicated when the warning light is extinguished or by a reading on the gauge.
Start the engine and check for leakage from the filter. Stop the engine. After 15 minutes, check the oil level on
the dipstick and, if necessary, put more lubricating oil into the sump. Fill the sump to the notch on the dipstick
with an approved lubricating oil.
